We are getting ready to move all of our DC's to VM's. I have done this in a test environment without any complications. Now we are using VMware ESX so can't comment directly on the hyper-V solution, but if you install servers as VMs and then promote them to DCs and do this in the proper order waiting for all replications to happen before moving to the next step, I don't see any why any issues should arise at all. However, the article referenced above does have a few caveats for doing this that apparently are present using Hyper-V.
