As you note yourself, this problem is very unlikely to be anything to do
with the new PV drivers or associated infrastructure. 

I think your problem is more likely to be a race condition in the startup 
of the qemu-dm helper process. If you check the latest /var/log/qemu-*.log 
and see a message something like "xc_get_pfnlist returned -1" this means 
that qemu-dm tried to interrogate the domain before it had been created.

(I've seen this myself before but only on non-debug builds of Xen) 

We should fix this properly, but for now you can just retry. 

cheers,

S.
