With xen-unstable from 20050207, the anti-IP-spoofing measure does not work. It blocks packets from domU from leaving the host. This is because
the following iptable was set up by the script on dom0:

Chain FORWARD (policy DROP)
target     prot opt source               destination
ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere PHYSDEV match --physdev-in eth0 ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere PHYSDEV match --physdev-in eth0

(it is in there twice because I had the rule saved from last time, and the script doesn't detect duplicate rules.)

Running:

 iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT

solved the problem.
