[ libvirt 0.4.0; I just subscribed to the list so it might take a bit for 
traffic to flow to me. ]

When the problem occurs, the state line in xm list --long is:
      (state ------)

And in the 'xm list' it looks like this:
Name                                  ID   Mem VCPUs      State   Time(s)
abc2                                  27   512     1     ------      9.9

It's an XP domain, and this happens while it's booting up.
