Retina full resolution option yields frozen or black screen unless window is small

Hello,

I'm trying to use the "Use full resolution for Retina display" and boot Windows 8 in full screen on my 2880 x 1800 15" Retina MacBook Pro. However, the screen is black on boot.

In windowed mode, it works if the window is half the size of the screen (approximately). If I resize the VMWare Fusion window to fill 75% or larger of the MacBook's screen, then contents of the window freeze and the Windows GUI is frozen.

Does this setting simply not work, or should I keep messing with it?
