I would think Boris is after memory related special settings on the host and guest (if you can reveal those). Could be you are hinting that at least for the host the config was not modified. I assume still using the xm/xend stack. The other info there would be the number assigned to mem of guest type like the one we have the dmesg of.
Boris, do you think it would help you to get the dyndbg enabled output?
