Given that this is a networking issue, I should describe my network
configuration in slightly more detail.

I have a bridge at br0 that's bought up during system boot. The physical
interface, an Intel e1000 (ifname is eth1000), is joined to the bridge. From
that point on, the bridge interface is treated as if it was the physical 
interface.

This scheme is pleasantly simple and works just fine under Xen 2.0. I don't
think it's related to the issue here (since it's essentially the same as the
default Xen scheme, though without the virtual-eth0-and-MAC-funnybusiness of
some configurations), but am including the info just for completeness.

Xend runs no network setup script (and network-bridge has been backed up then
replaced with an empty script, just in case), as it's all configured by the time
Xen starts. vif-bridge is run normally and is unmodified.

Here's the Debian /etc/network/interfaces file that does the setup work on the
bridge:

----

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# the PCI-X giabit card, our main path to the rest of the world
# Now via a bridge to support Xen, see below
iface eth1000 inet static
        pre-up /sbin/nameif -s
        #address 10.0.0.4
        #netmask 255.255.255.0
        #gateway 10.0.0.10
        address 0.0.0.0
        netmask 255.255.255.255
        # Work around Xen 3.0 bug #449 (unsuccessful; disabled)
        # mtu 1400

auto br0
iface br0 inet static
        pre-up /sbin/nameif -s
        address 10.0.0.4
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 10.0.0.0
        broadcast 10.0.0.255
        gateway 10.0.0.10
        # Include the main ethernet interface in the bridge
        bridge_ports eth1000
        # Enable spanning tree... just in case:
        bridge_stp on
        # Learning delay before entering forwarding mode:
        bridge_fd 2
        # Tell ifup not to wait more than 30s for the bridge to be ready:
        bridge_maxwait 30

# These aren't normally used; they're the interfaces
# on the motherboard.
iface eth100a inet dhcp
iface eth100b inet dhcp
