On -default, the messages clearly indicate that request_firmware() is failing on that file (as expected), but the fact that Xen gets presented with a firmware image at all requires that request_firmware() is not failing as expected on -xen.

since an update to 2.6.34.1-5-default, 2.6.34.1-5-xen, (re)providing both cases:

The timing is completely different, and the log appears to confirm that the loading of the file fails (as expected) on native, but doesn't on Xen. Neither of the two I can explain without more detailed analysis. I suggest opening a bug report, attaching the full native and Xen boot.msg.
