Unfortunalety the problem persists. There is no (visible) change, I see
the grubdom again and the vm boots up after giving grub the location of
the configfile.
Is there a logfile I haven't found yet which could help fixing this?


it should be visible as part of console output if you start it using "xm create -c". Something like this:

                                       Xen Minimal OS!
  start_info: 0xa9c000(VA)
    nr_pages: 0x20000
  shared_inf: 0xcfbfe000(MA)
...
Thread "main": pointer: 0x2020002fb0, stack: 0xcd0000
Thread "pcifront": pointer: 0x2020003760, stack: 0xce0000
"main" "(hd0,0)/grub/menu.lst" 
pcifront_watches: waiting for backend path to appear device/pci/0/backend
vbd 51712 is hd0
******************* BLKFRONT for device/vbd/51712 **********


from that snippet you see that on my setup pv-grub gets the parameter "(hd0,0)/grub/menu.lst", and vbd 51712 (which is xvda) is recognized as hd0.
