I have managed to patch the source code so that the call to Qemu uses "pc" as 
machine type. I also extended the startup timeout so that the domU runs long 
enough to check the stability.
Now I can confirm that QXL graphics cannot be used with the machine types 
"xenvf" and "pc,accel=xen", no matter if seabios or ovmf is used.

Where can I file a bug for this problem?
