I have observed the same with xen 3.3.1, xenified dom0 and pvops domU's. It 
possibly happens to a xenified domU too, but I don't know. I don't have to 
destroy the domU, I just reboot it again and often the interface then works. 
All my domU's have 2 network interfaces and I've only ever seen it affect one 
at a time.

I have static MAC's for my domU's.

No denying it's a bug. I cannot upgrade. It doesn't bother me much.

Not even close.
