Dear Peter,

 Wrong

Have you ever coded an exploit ?

 Wrong. This would be true only if the AV didn't have the parsing bug in
 the first place. If the AV is buggy and allows some form of arbitrary code
 execution, the attacker -does- have the code executed inside the VM; and
 nothing stands in his way of detecting whether it's a real machine or not.
 If, on the other hand, the AV was not vulnerable... then, what would be
 the gain of running it inside a VM? :-)
