As you say, dead domains usually go away just fine.
If a domain doesn't disappear from the list, the usual
reason is that according to xen itself it still exists,
even though xend has tried to destroy it.
It's also possible there's a bug in xend.

Is there anything in /etc/log/xend.log?

(Only do this if your domains aren't important)
Do the zombie domains go away if you restart xend?
