Just remembered that there was more to it than that. The 32-bit host fails to run 32-bit guests compiled on the 64-bit host (using SUBARCH=i386), and that is a new bug report (AFAIK). For an example, grab any 32-bit binary from the website. This 100% reproducible bug report is on a 2.6.15 host kernel - but since this seems to be a (mis)compilation issue, the fact that the host kernel is a bit old shouldn't really matter.
