I have tied following HVM OS.
SLES9, RC3, RHEL4u3

They all have similar behavior. It is very easy to reproduce.
BTW, this issue is related with 32E platform. HVM can be 32 or 32E.

Do you mean that with a plain 32b or 32b PAE hypervisor the problem
doesn''t exhibit, or is this untested?

Not sure what RC3 is, but the other two are Linux-es: Can you try rebuilding
the guest kernels with attached patch applied, and see if things work better
(you may need to adjust the patch according to your Linux version, but I
guess chances are fairly good that you won''t have any rejects when
applying).
