Hello! The "open" root behavior seems a little strange to me too. But, thinking coldly, what would change in your scenario if root was protected?
The attacker would not be able to modify /usr/bin/audacious, or install muhbackdoorz to system. But she/he could still delete all your home data, or send it through web, or install something inside home and add it to .bashrc, or ... Considering all important data in a DomU is owned by one user, and neither root nor the non-root user can leave DomU, the damage caused by any of them seems almost the same.
