Do you have PV drivers running on the Windows guest?
I don't have any drivers in my Windows HVM guest (SBS2K3) and it reboots fine.


Config file below.....

name="windowsxp-2"
ostype="windowsxp"
uuid="a7052f77-b1e9-d0be-c3fd-f0e5e2b44cad"
memory=1024
vcpus=1
on_crash="restart"
on_poweroff="destroy"
on_reboot="restart"

My guess would be if you don't have PV drivers that Xen is treating the reboot as a power off and destroying the guest as the config file indicates. I believe you'd need PV drivers to convey the reboot to Xen.

I'm using the following settings also:
on_poweroff = "destroy"
on_reboot = "restart"
on_crash = "restart"
