Is the box a dual? It could be an SMP-related issue -- odd domains
would run on CPU1 by default.

Running NTP on non-privileged domains should work -- by default a
non-privileged domain will sync against Xen (and Xen is in turn synced
against ntpd in DOM0). If a non-priv domain runs an NTP daemon then it
essentially detaches itself from Xen wall-time.
