Some other users have also reported problems with installing Kali HVMs, but I don't recall your specific issue being reported yet. Added:

Oh, I see now that you also found the other thread by NewbieG. So, it looks like it may be the same issue.

For anyone else, this is the thread:

FWIW, I played with this for a while, the MATE and XFCE versions work fine so I started looking for commonalities...they weren't using gdm. So on my default kali install running gnome, i installed lightdm init 3 and now everything works fine. Just no pretty gdm login screen. Hopefully this will work for others.
