Ok. The ground reason of all that is this:

shutdown_kbdfront: error changing state device/vkbd/0/state to 5: ENOENT

The MiniOS kbdfront driver can not stop the backend because xenstore
doesn't let it set the state to closing. I fail to understand how the
ENOENT error could happen (but not for the fb part!), and don't really
have the time to investigate further inside the meandres of xenstore...

Well, a solution that would work fine for me is if pvgrub could be told to ignore the pvfb. I find it pretty annoying to have to switch to a vnc viewer to boot, and it would be easier to do it on the xen console (though I can see that wouldn't be universally true).
