The example there says to map the disk as xvda :)

yes, you need to change it on the guest.

Let's try some things:
(1) Keep the disk mapped as xvda on domU config file.
(2) assign /var/lib/xen/images/CLOUD-CC-1.img to a loopback device,
and use kpartx on it (something like "LOOP=`losetup -f`;losetup $LOOP
/var/lib/xen/images/CLOUD-CC-1.img;kpartx -av $LOOP")
(3) run "fdisk -l $LOOP"
(4) mount the partition on domU (something like "mount
/dev/mapper/loop0p5 /mnt/tmp")
(5) ls -la /mnt/tmp /mnt/tmp/boot/grub/menu.lst (or whatever your
mount point is)
(6) paste the content of menu.lst (relevant parts only, no need to
paste commented entries)
(7) run "/usr/bin/pygrub -i /var/lib/xen/images/CLOUD-CC-1.img"
