I can't really tell you for xen, although it might be similar to KVM. During setup I would set a traffic label matching the name of the bridge, for example if my public interface were eth0 and the bridge I had set up was br0, I'd go to the zone network settings, find public traffic, and set a label on it of "br0". Maybe someone more familiar with the xen setup can help.
On the DNS, it makes sense from the perspective that the ssvm has access to your internal networks, thus it uses your internal DNS. Its default gateway is public. So if I have a DNS server on an internal network at 10.30.20.10/24, and my management network on 192.168.10.0/24, this route has to be set in order for the DNS server to be reachable. You would under normal circumstances not want to use a DNS server on public net as your internal DNS setting anyway, although I agree that the route insertion should have a bit more sanity checking and not set a static route to your default gateway.
