I would imagine a fix could follow quite quickly as it only requires
rebuilding with a filename added to a list of files not to have
their symbols stripped (or reverting the compatibility level change).
AFAICT apt-listbugs would have reported this to you before
the upgrade of grub-xen-host took place, as someone had reported
it on 22 Aug. So it might be worth installing apt-listbugs.
