This indeed still happens with xen-utils-4.1 4.1.4-3+deb7u1

Additionally, the problem is hard to figure out (as it simply excepts with
"RuntimeError: Unable to find partition containing kernel", which it does
in many other cases as well; perhaps it should collect other caught
exceptions for debug purposes).

The grub.cfg, in my case, was generated by update-grub (from inside the
guest) and contained several lines `set root="(/dev/xvda1)"` (partially
because I am using a file as a guest's `xvda1` partition without `xvda`
drive); which also implies that if update-grub is re-run inside the guest
(e.g. on automatic update) it will break again.
