I run OpenBSD 4.6 in the same setup as you have, and the only problem I 
have with it is
network related (packets going out from the bridge may be trashed, but 
that is unrelated to
your problem).  My config looks like this:

kernel = "/usr/pkg/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
builder='hvm'
memory = 256
name = "openbsd7"
vif = [ 'mac=08:00:26:12:34:07, bridge=bridge0, type=ioemu, model=e1000' ]
device_model = '/usr/pkg/libexec/qemu-dm'
disk = [ 'file:/export/openbsd7/openbsdfs,ioemu:hda,w',
       'file:/home/ragge/install45.iso,ioemu:hdc:cdrom,r' ]
boot='c'
vnc = 1
vncdisplay = 7
usb=1
usbdevice='tablet'

It might be your vnc settings that needs to be tweaked.
