Xen users - May 2013 - “Unable to connect to libvirt” (xen, xl toolstack, and virt-manager)

I get “Unable to connect to libvirt” when using virt-manager in combination
with the XL toolstack and Xen 4.2.1.  (No problems when using virt-manager
in combination with the XM toolstack.)  More details of the situation can
be found in a bug-report that I filed on launchpad.  Please see:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/1180281

Judging from the information that I provided in the above referenced
bug-report (some of which is copied below), does this appear to be an
actual bug?   Or have I failed to configure something properly?

Thanks for any help with this!

Best regards,
GizmoChicken


P.S.  Here is more of the error that I get when attempting to start
virt-manager:

Unable to connect to libvirt.

unable to connect to ''localhost:8000'': Connection refused

Verify that:
 - A Xen host kernel was booted
 - The Xen service has been started

Libvirt URI is: xen:///

And here the output from var/log/libvirt/libvirtd.log
