My guess is domU is already started. You just didn't see the login screen.

There are some alternatives to fix it. My perefered method would be to
setup domU correctly to display login screen an allow root to login
from xvc0 (which is where the console is. See the boot log). It
requires some modifications to several files.
Other people like to simply add
extra ="3 xencons=tty"
to domU config line.
