Do you have any other devices which get assigned IRQ 18?  Xen prints
information about the interrupt routing when it starts, you can read
this information with xm dmesg.  Also lspci -v should show for each
device not hidden from dom0 which interrupt is used by the device. 
FWIW, I've seen "irq nobody cared" on the IRQ assigned to the USB
controller and a kernel without USB support.

Yes, it should have been sent to the driver domain.  If there's a 2nd
device on IRQ 18 and this device is not hidden from dom0 and the 2nd
device gets an interrupt, it will go to dom0.  This should be harmless
but apparently, it's not.
