That is most definitely a bug.

rsync, nfs, or other-programs with high I/O load should never cause
dom0 to panic/oops.
If you have time, I highly suggest using RHEL5.4 with it's kernel
2.6.18 as dom0. It's the most stable xen kernel for me so far.

Moving nfs server to domU will help isolate the problem, since (at
least) if it's dead other domU can keep on running happily.
