You are correct. However, they will not remaster the media once it ships
so the 32bit media will just not have a kernel/initrd for Xen in the
boot/i386 directory.

As a work around you may be able to create a network install source and
place the Xen kernel/initrd in the boot/i386 directory (vmlinuz-xen and
initrd-xen).  You would have to generate the initrd.

Vm-install was designed to try and extract the kernel/initrd from the
RPMs found on the media if the kernel and initrd files are not in the
boot directory. This code path hasn't been needed in a long time and has
some problems with changes in os13.x.  I fixed some of these problems
and pushed the changes out to the Virtualization/vm-install repo.  The
32bit os13.2 VM now boots for me but hangs coming up.  I think something
is wrong or missing from the initrd that is generated by vm-install.
