Well... if it breaks for you then yet :)
I just assumed that this problem was resolved though...

Create the bridge in your initramfs, and then change the
'network-script' in xend-config.sxp to call /bin/true, eg:
(network-script /bin/true)

By creating the bridge in your initramfs before you mount the nfs, you
eliminate the problem, at the cost of having to move some of your config
into your initramfs where it is a bit less flexible.
