IIRC this is a problem with the kernel and/or userland. For example, I
get the same thing when using an old kernel with busybox's dhcp, but
not with RHEL6.

I suggest you try using debian wheezy or ubuntu precise as PV guest
and see what happens.
Or try turning off all offloads in the bridge and domU's vif interface
(on dom0 side) with ethtool, but I doubt it will work.
