It behaves as if it's run out of memory as you say, but I did 'while
true; do; xl list; sleep 0.2 ; done' on one session while I started the
other DomU, and the system locked so quickly that the xl list didn't see
any drop in Dom0 memory or the DomU even start.

I have given Dom0 1000MB, and the HVM DomU also uses 1000MB (though it
gets reported as 995MB). The para-virtual DomU uses 2000MB, and the
machine has 8GB. Before I start the para-virtual DomU the commited
AS_limit is around 141MB
