In Xen 4.3-unstable, I also met your issue with SP2. (SP1 is okay for booting.)
(The Windows 2003 version we used in our auto testing is SP1 not SP2.)
Also, I had a try with Xen 4.2.2-rc2 and found it can boot up SP2 normally.
So, it should be a regression in Xen 4.3. I don't know what caused this bug.
