I solve the problem by clicking faster.  Also lots of cursing seems to help. It doesn't mitigate the problem, it just reduces my frustration level.
The problem doesn't last forever (for me). Seems to be sticky per waking session on the laptop. That is, it will start doing it after I wake the laptop from sleep state, and will keep doing it until the next time it sleeps.
You might be able to solve the problem with a scripting tool like AutoHotKey. Would be a right pain to set up, and I'm not 100% sure it would work, but you could map each control on the wizard to a hotkey combo that will send a single mouseclick to the OS (at the appropriate screen coordinates).
AutoHotKey seems like a lot of trouble.
skoormit, I jut tried something you might try, too.
In Windows XP Mode, go Device manager -> Mice and... .> Microsoft PS/2 Mouse -> Advanced Settings -> Sample Rate and set that to 200. That seems to have solved the problem for me, at least for the moment. Of course, you say the problem sometimes go away by itself, so it might be that I have seen. On the other hand, I haven't seen the problem go away by itself (unless that is what just happened), and it did go away when I set the Sample Rate to 200, so it looks like that is a good thing to try.
Edit: After having shut down the Virtual Machine and later restarted it the problem wasn't completely solved, so it seems luck does have some relevance, too. But half the time getting two clicks instead of one is better than nearly always getting 3-10 clicks on the spinner control. It is of course still not as good as getting the intended one click every time, but it is a better result.
