Perhaps earlier, and we're just now running into it. I am able to
reproduce on the v2.6.30 release. My initial bisect leads me here (from
bad=v2.6.30 and good=v2.6.29 in linux-2.6.git):

Merge commit 'remotes/tip/x86/paravirt' into x86/untangle2
I note astutely, however, that's a pretty large merge commit.

I used an Arch domU to test, as this happens a few steps into init's run
there. The process that bugs varies widely, but it's always a few
scripts in. We can reproduce this on two versions of our software
stack, which both run Xen 3.2.1-rc5 (xm info from one):

Newer hypervisors starting with v3.3.0 do not exhibit this behavior.
Now then, the bisection --
I ended up at 9049a11 in linux-2.6.git as told above, and I tried to
identify those patches in xen.git. I'm not entirely sure my bisection
from that point was accurate (I could not reproduce a stack trace), and
I'll let you bisect it given your familiarity with xen.git.
I have a feeling version of hypervisor is important here as, again,
v3.3.0 and up do not BUG.
What's interesting is that they all stack trace, but the location
changes. Here is an example from my bisection at f402a65:
