Following powershell could help, while the VIC folks could provide a permanent fix by tweaking vic-machine configure.

Function setGuestInfo ($guestVMName, $guestKey, $guestKeyValue){
    $vmConfigSpec = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec
    $extra = New-Object VMware.Vim.optionvalue
    $extra.Key = $guestKey
    $extra.Value = $guestKeyValue
    $vmConfigSpec.extraconfig += $extra
    $vm = Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine | where { $_.name -eq $guestVMName }
    $vm.ReconfigVM($vmConfigSpec)
}

$vCenterServer = "<your vcenter>"
Connect-VIServer -Server $vCenterServer
setGuestInfo ("<vch name>") ("guestinfo.vice./registry/whitelist_registries~") ("<registry1>|<registry2>")
Disconnect-VIServer -Server $vCenterServer -confirm:$False | Out-Null
