Hm. As I told you, I have never used it that way, so can't help much.
The error message is clear enough by itself, this config will not be 
usable under your setup "as is".
If you insist using debian-installer, you should pay attention to Ian 
about how to debug the crash reason. One of the first steps would be 
adding this to your config, as he suggested:
on_crash="preserve"
(Instead of mine on_crash="destroy")
...and inspecting the console.

Maybe because you are running xend service, which conflicts with xl?
Xend and XL are different toolstacks designed to manage Xen 
infrastructure, they conflict with each other:
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/XL
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Choice_of_Toolstacks

Stick to "xm", or switch your default toolstack. Google for the exact 
error message you obtain, to find reference how to do that.
This reference seems to be based on xl:
