Everything I saw on the screen was in the e-mail. After the failure it
hangs for a moment then it resets (in spite of being passed noreboot).

The domain builder just passes the error up to the caller:

<snip>
    ctxt->cpu_ctxt.esi = VADDR(KPTDI, startinfopa); /* start info mapped
address */
    ctxt->cpu_ctxt.eax = PTOM(IdlePTD);
    ctxt->cpu_ctxt.ebx = PTOM(KPTphys);
    ctxt->cpu_ctxt.edi = physindex;

    if (finish_mmu_updates(xc_handle, mmu))
        goto error_out;

    /* index of first free physical page */
    return physindex;
 error_out:
    return -1;

}
