I believe you need Centos 5.3 for F10 xen guest clients which, as RHEL5.3
beta has only just appeared, probably won't be available until after
Fedora 8 has EOLed.
Yeah.. I believe RHEL 5.2 and CentOS 5.2 has too old python-virtinst
to handle/install F10 guests..
RHEL 5.3 will contain updated python-virtinst that supports F10 guests.
It is already included in RHEL 5.3 beta.

If you can't try RHEL 5.3 beta dom0, you could try with installing
python-virtinst-0.300.2-10.el5 or newer to your RHEL 5.2 / CentOS 5.2 dom0..
it should add support for F10 domUs. For more information check that
bugzilla link above.
RHEL 5.3 beta announcement:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/rhelv5-announce/2008-October/msg00000.html
contains:
python-virtinst-0.300.2-11.el5
