Weird. I can't reproduce.

Are your xenU domains being started with access to any IO devices
or such like that might be giving them Privileged domain status?

The only way that I can see that xen's system time can be changed
is via the DOM0_SETTIME dom0 op.

You might want to add a printk in common/dom0_ops.c to see if
it's getting called unexpectedly on your system. If you print
current->domain you'll be able to see which domain is calling it.
