How many people would prefer to not have to log in to an xastir vm, say have the machine boot and automatically run xastir? Last year during a vm discussion on this list I prepared a set of patches that would do that with a xubuntu xastir vm. One run-level would boot and run xastir full-screen without a window manager so that there would be nothing to confuse newbies. The vm would shut shutdown when xastir exited. The goal was to have the vm behave more like an application than an operating system. A second run-level would automatically start xastir with a window manager for people who want a window manager, and a third runlevel would boot up to a login prompt as is default for an xubuntu vm.

I've still got the mods if the vm managers are interested, and I'm willing to support them.

So how do I log into the VM for the most recent Xastir-Hardy VM image?  I've 
got the Xubuntu login screen staring at me but can't figure out what the 
username/password should be

The user ID and password *should* be there on the wiki where you found the
download link.  They're usually "xubuntu" and "xubuntu" for both.  As the
wiki says, it's meant to be easy, not secure.
