Well, I can confirm this was the culprit of my problems: Xen was 
selecting random MAC addresses at startup. I have fixed the problem by 
manually and statically setting a predefined MAC address in the domain 
config file:
vif = [ 'mac=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX' ]

Now, the MAC address is always the same and thus I don't need the ugly 
ping hack.
Thanks.
