"black magic" is the word I'd use to describe Xen's default
network-bridge script :D

To narrow-down possible cause, can you DISABLE xen's default network
bridge script (or in your case, network-bridge-wrapper, replace it
with /bin/true) and setup bridges MANUALLY like JP's example in
/etc/network/interfaces.

You'll then have br0 and br1 bridges where you setup IP addresses, and
also use that in domU's config.

Personally I always create my own bridges instead of relying on Xen's
network-bridge script (at that time I needed vlan and bonding support,
which is not possible with the default network-bridge script)
