It's by design, when you stop a VM (advanceStop() in VirtualMachineManagerImpl) in CloudStack UI, it will delete all the vm metadata info from xenserver database, it will reconstruct the vm profile to xenserver db when you start again (advanceStart() in VirtualMachineManagerImpl).
It's easy to keep vm profile consistency since the only reference is cloudstack database.
