I never got an answer to this on-list, so for the sake of the
archives...

Keir advised:

    If you want to capture all Xen's boot output, the safest way is
    to increase the serial transmit buffer size. Try adding
    serial_tx_buffer=64k to the Xen command line.

I have now had chance to test this, and it does indeed work
perfectly for me; much better than using sync_console.

Thanks!
Andy
