I noticed this a little while ago and began investigating a solution
using the upstream data:// URI support (see xen-unstable
20117:4fc6ff1e1141) but then I upgraded to Xen 3.4 and the issue went
away.

Can you please confirm what your host and guest Debian versions are as
well as which hypervisor+tools you see this with. AFAIR this worked on
Lenny (where I developed it) and now it works again on Sid (and so I
expect it will work again on Squeeze eventually if it doesn't already).
