Yes; I'll get you feedback on the other item within the next few hours.

Let's see... I have it happening on the first DomU startups after one 
boot... and don't see it anywhere else in my logs, particularly 
including my more recent test boots.
On the occasion when it *did* happen (that's still covered in the 
available logs), logs were as follows:

No NFS. My root is LVM over local drives only (and likewise, my DomUs' 
block devices all are phy: pointing at logical volumes).
