It's good that you can reproduce the bug.

What kernel are you using in Dom0?
What underlying storage are you using for the guest VMs (local disk,
nfs, iscsi, etc)?

Can you reproduce the bug with a more recent QEMU? For example:

git://git.qemu.org/qemu.git v2.5.0

no need to update Xen for this test, just compile QEMU separately, I
just do:

./configure --enable-xen --target-list=i386-softmmu --disable-kvm
make
cp i386-softmmu/qemu-system-i386 /usr/lib/xen/bin

Thanks for your help!
