After some more looking around, I think I did find the cause (presumably the 'xen_blk: can't get major 8 with name sd' and subsequent oops is bad)- I'm still at a loss to explain why - this was using the same kernel version and config, that was originally working (with new xen patch, make clean & recompile).

Relevant section of boot log below:

Registering block device major 8
register_blkdev: cannot get major 8 for sd
xen_blk: can't get major 8 with name sd
