last time I screwed with it,

serial='pty'

(in the xm config file)
along with whatever incantation you need to get the guest HVM OS to use 
com1 as the serial console made xm console work as I expected.  

(I told the OS to use a 115200 bps com1, 8n1, though I'm not sure how much
those settings matter.)
