I've looked more into my trouble, and it seems that "xl" does not want
to play nicely with the vif-route script.
First, the udev subsystem executes vif-setup after Xen creates the
vif device. For some reason, this script does not have $script defined
and so it defaults to vif-bridge. Once I changed it to run vif-route
things went further. I'm not entirely sure how $script is supposed to
be set, but it worked fine with xm.
Next, vif-route did not pick up $ip from my domain configuration's "vif =
[ 'ip=w.x.y.z' ]." When using xm, vif-route would find $ip set properly
and would create a route based on its value.
I think you should report these issues to xen-devel mailinglist!

Networking between Dom0 and DomU works with a modified vif-setup
script
and a manually added route. Once I get it going, networking seems to be
stable.
