It doesn't quite disappear it is just printed as normal ASCII text
instead.

We could include a static "Xen" banner figlet output and just print the
version in normal ASCII text. Or we could check in the figlet banner and
make it part of the release process to update it (liable to forgetting
though, so I'm not in favour of this).
