Can you not simply have Xen not set up any bridging  by:

1. putting an 'exit 0' at the top of  /etc/xen/scripts/network

2. Set up the bridge you want in your dom0 network start scripts (in 
Debian I use:
/etc/network/interfaces:
iface xen-br0 inet static
        address 192.168.10.2
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 192.168.10.0
        broadcast 192.168.10.255
        pre-up /usr/sbin/brctl addbr xen-br0


3. In your /etc/xen/host config files, set them to use this existing bridge

This will have all domUs attached to the xen-br0 bridge, but the dom0 
host will not be connected.
This works for me with xen 2.0.7

Hope this helps.
