Bizarre. It's hard to figure out how Xen/Linux could be doing
this, unless there's some terrible memory corruption going on
that would cause things to be segfaulting or kernel oops.  Xen
just doesn't do subtle bugs ;-)

Can you do an ldd on /bin/ls just to see what libraries you're
using. Are there alternative libraries under /lib (e.g. non tls
or non i686) that you could try?

Finally, just make sure that there's nothing in your environment
that is switching on something subtle returned from uname or
arch...
