Yes, there's indication. For network driver, dest_is_gref means DomU RX
path, src_is_gref means DomU TX path.

In the particular error message you mentioned, it means that this
happens in DomU's RX path, but it would not give us clear idea what had
happened. As the ring is skewed any way it's not surprised to see a
garbage gref in hypervisor.
