Ok.  It should, I'd guess, have access to a non-localhost IP ...

host $HOST
  server04.lan has address 192.168.1.4

wget -O result.cfg http://192.168.1.4/preseed.cfg
cat result.cfg
	d-i debian-installer/locale string en_US
	d-i console-keymaps-at/keymap select us
	...

xm create \
  ..
  install-extra="preseed/url=http://192.168.1.4/preseed.cfg";

still exhibits the same preseed.cfg-not-found behavior, dropping me
into the manual installer.
