Do you specify dom0-cpus=1 in your xen config? If so, it causes a
problem that causes events to be missed and things left hanging around
which sounds similar to what you are seeing. I'm not sure about the
version but this sounds very familiar to a bug I encountered once, and
spent ages tracking down.

I highly recommend running a newer version of Xen where this bug is
fixed, but otherwise just don't specify dom0-cpus=1.
