I downloaded my testing using hg but I went and built some more copies to see 
if I could figure out what was going on.  It seems to work for me in the 
2.0.7 tarball as well...

The directory is called linux-2.6.11 but it has the patch applied.  There's 
also the vmlinuz-2.6.11.12-xen0 that I saw when building on -testing.  As I 
mentioned earlier you can check the patch level of the source by doing:

head linux-2.6.11-xen0/Makefile

And checking the value of EXTRAVERSION

If it has a number in it (before the Xen stuff) then it got patched.

Are you *really really* sure that you're not getting a patched kernel?  Have 
you tried booting it to see what number it displays?  What do you see if you 
issue the "head" command above?  What about "ls -l dist/install/boot"?

HTH,
Mark
