Yes, they are on the bug list though for quite some time :-).
see http://bugs.xenproject.org/xen/bug/22
Although the multifuction part missing is only slightly noted there.

(a fix would need a part libxl and for HVM's at least part qemu-xen 
(since qemu-xen doesn't have the option implemented that qemu-trad
has for the slot and multifunction assignment))

Don't know about that bug.
