The bug will only occur if the device node you specified as the guest 
device *does not also* exist in dom0 so that the lookup can occur. If you 
specify target devices that also happen to exist in dom0 then it'll work 
even without directly specifying the node number.
It's just an unfortunate consequence of Xend's lookup algorithm on udev / 
devfs dom0...
