Did you also copy xen-blkfront?

Dammit! No, no I didn't. I tried to just copy this back over to the 3.8.8 and 3.8.10 kernel versions, but it came up with too many errors - so I just rebuilt/packages the checkout of your git based on 3.8.0-rc7.

It seems you are missing some pieces, you should see something like:

blkfront: xvda: flush diskcache: enabled; persistent grants: enabled;
indirect descriptors: enabled;

Now I'm running 3.8.0-rc7 from your git on both DomU and Dom0. In the DomU, I now see:

blkfront: xvda: flush diskcache: enabled; persistent grants: enabled; indirect descriptors: enabled;

From what you say, this should be what I'd expect.

From the DomU:
