Ah, my fault! When scanning through the code pxegen.py I noticed that you had a check to see if the distro had -xen in the name. I realised then that I'd inadvertently based my profile off of a paravirtualised distro. So my problems are solved! ;-)
On that note I wonder if it sensible to have paravirtualised distributions distinguished by having -xen in the name when all other config has been abstracted into properties? Why not a paravirtualisedonly property? Keep up the good work!
