Thanks Dave - this works.
I manually entered the patch (since we moved to the latest changeset),
changed it from 'vifnum={$vifnum:-0}' to 'vifnum=${vifnum:-0}' (syntax),
copied it to /etc/xend/scripts, restarted xend, and now the xen
networking interfaces show up.

Hi Brian -
You're right that a default route is not required for networking in
general.
But it looks like the network-bridge script hasn't been working with no
args and no default route since changeset 8814:
http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-unstable.hg?cs=d1596fc2cbaa
I guess the script should fall back to guessing eth0/xenbr0 if there
is no default route. I've attached a (completely untested) patch that
does this. Could you give it a try and let me know whether it works for
you? (Apply with 'patch -p1 < network-bridge-fix.patch' run from the
top-level xen-unstable directory.)
