I think the xnf bug was always present, but might have been masked by the dom0 network backend driver. For a Solaris dom0, the backend network driver xnb was optimized in snv_81 (CR 6616384) and I suspect that this uncovered bug 6703227. I'm not sure how the Linux Dom0 network backend driver works, but maybe using linux dom0 network backend with a solaris domU network frontend masks the xnf bug, too.
