Hello.

Note: I could simply direct boot the appropriate kernel/initrd to get
the alpha1 installation going as always done in the past, but I think
this should work.  The Debian alpha 1 installer page says it should.

domU config file:

name = "wheezytest"
memory = 256

disk = [
'file:/BACKUP/dumpz/wheezytest/debian-wheezy-DI-a1-amd64-netinst.iso,xvdd:cdrom,r'

         , 'phy:/dev/mainvg/wheezytest-root,xvda,w'
         , 'phy:/dev/mainvg/wheezytest-swap,xvdb,w'
]

vif = [' ']

bootloader = "pygrub"
bootloader_args = "--kernel=/install.amd/vmlinuz
--ramdisk=/install.amd/initrd.gz"
extra = "debian-installer/exit/always_halt=true -- console=hvc0"

There is a funny issue with pygrub.
It looks for the first element of "disk =" array form the config file, and tries to get boot images from there. In you case, it's CDROM.

Re-order the mention of block device, make /dev/mainvg/wheezytest-root to appear first.
