I'm not sure, but I would think that 0x7B is the correct error. Basically 
Windows will just try and load all the drivers that are marked as 'required for 
boot', and then find a device to boot off. Xenvbd will fail to load because 
it's not signed, but as far as windows is concerned, that doesn't necessarily 
mean that the system is unbootable. It's only when it later can't find a disk 
to boot off that it throws an 0x7B.

Output from windbg might be helpful though...
