Hi all.
Faced with the same issue.

Environment:
vCloud Director 9.1
Ubuntu Server 16.04.1 x64
open-vm-tools 2:10.2.0-3~ubuntu0.16.04.1
cloud-init 19.1-1-gbaa47854-0ubuntu1~16.04.1

cloud-init log for second and later boots always contains

2019-07-23 13:22:39,347 - DataSourceOVF.py[DEBUG]: Did not find VMware Customization Config File
2019-07-23 13:22:39,347 - util.py[DEBUG]: Running command ['vmware-rpctool', 'info-get guestinfo.ovfEnv'] with allowed return codes [0]
 (shell=False, capture=True)
2019-07-23 13:22:39,353 - handlers.py[DEBUG]: finish: init-local/search-OVF: FAIL: no local data found from DataSourceOVF
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/cloudinit/sources/DataSourceOVF.py", line 394, in read_ovf_environment
    props = get_properties(contents)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/cloudinit/sources/DataSourceOVF.py", line 553, in get_properties
    raise XmlError("No 'PropertySection's")
cloudinit.sources.DataSourceOVF.XmlError: No 'PropertySection's

If I run "vmware-rpctool info-get guestinfo.ovfEnv" manually, I can't see "PropertySection" sections, but the question is: Is this section something that have to be in the response?
