I have installed OS X Mavericks as a guest on a macbook pro with vmware fusion 6.
To do this, I followed the instructions at the following:

How to install Mavericks in VMware Fusion?
I have installed the vmware tools.
After completing the installation steps I started using the vm and found that the § and ` keys are the wrong way around.
I tried adding two keyboard input sources, US and British, switching between these does not help.
I searched around a little and found the following on the vmware communities

Go into the VM’s settings (⌘+E), and enter
Keyboard & Mouse. You will see various profiles. Select one to use (or leave the one that’s already selected), press the small cog at the bottom of the window, and pickEdit Profile…. Go into theKey Mappingstab where you’ll be able to map keys into other keys. While this won’t correct the keyboard layout on the system, it will at least make so that the correct keys are passed when you’re using it.
