As Aaron pointed out, "von Neumann's" example is really a non example. To salvage the problem, restate it as: construct a sequence in $\ell_2$ which has $0$ in its weak closure, but no subsequence converges weakly to $0$. First note that such a sequence must be unbounded (by Eberlein-Smulian). Secondly, observe that it is enough to have for each $\epsilon > 0$ a (necessarily bounded) subsequence that converges weakly to a point whose norm is at most $\epsilon$ (and, of course, no subsequence that converges weakly to $0$). With these "hints", it is easy to construct an example: Let $x_{nm}(k)$ be $1/n$ if $k=1$, $n$ if $k=m>1$, and $0$ otherwise. With the "obvious" definition, $0$ is in the $2$-weak sequential closure of $x_{nm}$ but not in the $1$-weak sequential closure. From this beginning it is natural to define for each countable ordinal $\alpha$ the $\alpha$-weak sequential closure and to state an obvious problem. Another (not very difficult once you understand the example above) problem is to build a sequence in $\ell_2$ whose norms tend to infinity and yet $0$ is in the weak closure of the sequence.
Another striking example of the phenomena sought by the OP is the following. Take a dense sequence in the unit sphere of $\ell_1$. Then $0$ is in the weak closure of the sequence but no subsequence converges weakly to $0$ because $\ell_1$ has the Shur property.
