Hello,
in 4.0.5 if you select "Virtual Machines" tab and then "Snapshots" subtab
you can do clone of the snapshot into a new VM:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwoPbcrMv8mvRjJUSEhMM3dveG8/view?usp=sharing

I tried and it worked.
Or did you mean anything different?
You can't do it on the "Current" line (the Active VM) but if the VM is
stopped you can instead do a "Clone VM" from the VM line....
