Default NetBSD 6.1_RC2 and Xen 4.2.0/4.2.1

Have NetBSD 6.1_RC2 amd64 installed and downloaded the Xen source for 4.2.0 and 4.2.1 then followed the steps in Compiling Xen from Source on NetBSD

It boots into the Xen kernel, however, when attempting to create a NetBSD domu, the 'xm create' command returns
Code:
# xm create -c nbsd.cfg
Ignoring invalid configuration file /usr/pkg/xen420/etc/xen/xm-config.xml.
Using config file "./nbsd.cfg".
Error: need more than 1 value to unpack
#
It is the same error for both Xen 4.2.0 and 4.2.1.

nbsd.cfg
Code:
kernel = "/var/xen/kernels/netbsd-INSTALL_XEN3_DOMU.gz"
memory = 128
name = 'nbsd'
vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3e:00:00:11, bridge=bridge0' ]
disk = [ 'file:/var/xen/images/xen-2GB.img,0x1,w' ]
root = "xbd0"
Image file was created using
Code:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/xen/images/xen-2GB.img bs=1024 count=1 seek=2000000
I haven't found much in searching for the error about "1 value to unpack".

After having no luck in finding anything relevant I've installed Xen33 from pkgsrc and am able to successfully create a NetBSD domU.

I've found two links where similar problem is discussed, I think NetBSD xen list also has a patch (or updated archive, I just glanced over the answers), check them out and see if they are of any help:
