I inspected the logs, and it was the OOM-killer. Should it ever happen
when saving a guest domain? Xen host has 256 MB RAM for dom0 (3 GB
total), Xen guest 1.7 GB.
It appears that saving of HVM somains needs more memory: in this
particular case, when I increased memory for dom0, about 350 MB RAM was
used in total during the domain save.

That's kind of surprising, but I guess totally plausible if you don't
configure a swap partition for dom0?

No - dom0 has a 2 GB swap partition.
