have you tried with
qemu-img convert -f qcow filename.qcow -O raw filename.img
    

Yes, but it seems that the incompatibility between Xen and Qcow results in
broken output. At least, I cannot mount that output, using mount -o loop
etc.

Stefan,
I am not sure that I am following you...
you can't loopmount a qcow image at least not directly... plus it will be probably partitioned inside, so in order to mount it you will have to convert it to raw, losetup to a loop device, look at the partition table, and losetup again on the offset of the partition you want. (look at my other post [Xen-users] Creating a Bootable Image file) for this.
What is your goal?
M.
