Just so that everyone knows, and that this answer might be searchable in the 
archives...

I have (I think) found a solution. Do not bind xen-br0 to tap1.

I have now just created a "naked" xen-br0, that is, one that is not attached to 
any other interface, and it now appears to be OK. Whereas before it would die 
whenever I shut down the last domU, now it appears to be running smoothly.

Thanks to knewt for the help!

Cheers,
Paul
