There's an hotfix available here, targeting Windows XP x64 and Windows Server 2003:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/942589
I think that an official fix is way better than a workaround to the setup, because it will "fix" all the system and not only this specific case.
If you could confirm it works (I don't have WinXP-x64 available to test) I'll change the setup to check if the hotfix is installed before proceeding with VMS installation.

Yes, I found that while searching for "SysNative under Windows XP" on Google.
It is now installed, but the setup still doesn't want to place the files on System32, it still creates a folder called "SysNative" in the Windows folder.

Ok, I've installed the update again.
It works now!
Seems like Windows XP doesn't install updates when you restart the computer.
You're literally FORCED to shut it down.

Thanks for reporting it.
Now I should find a way to detect the presence of this hotfix (other than reading the version of replaced system files)...
