I think I managed to track down the problem!

Replacing the kernel & initrd lines in the config file with:
	bootloader = '/usr/bin/pygrub'

The domains seem to function without issue now.

I still seem to have problems starting hvm DomUs with Windows as the 
guest OS. My guess is that something seems to be wrong with 
pv-grub_x86_64.gz and possible hvmloader?

Has anyone managed to overcome, confirm or suggest a workaround for this?
