First try running Vista with 2G of memory instead of 4G, and with a
single CPU.
I had problems under Xen 3.2.1 with Windows 2008 which has a lot in
common with Vista. Something to do with emulation of a certain
instruction when the instruction occurs at a page boundary. If you trawl
the list archives for my email address and 'Windows 2008' you might find
a reference the changeset that fixed it for me. The 'xm dmesg' errors I
was getting were quite different to what you are getting though so I
suspect that that may not be your problem, and in my case Windows 2008
would install after a few attempts but would always crash within a few
minutes of use.
