I ran xenstore-ls while trying to create one of these broken domains.
The /local/3/device/vif/0/backend line is.. interesting:
  "backend = "/locaû""

Hopefully this problem is simply that the store is being writen to
incorrectly.
I then deleted all of the xen related files in /var/run, rebooted and
ran the `xm create` and `xenstore-ls`. This time it spat back a "cannot
allocate memory" error :-( The outputs from both runs are below.
