I finally fixed the domU's fs, it appears that the superblock list given by
newfs -N was wrong, and I found a working alternative superblock. Luckily,
only the /dev directory and a couple of files have been wiped by fsck(8)
and I've been able to boot the virtual machine and put it to work again.
Nevertheless, that story is a bit frightening, because no error message has
never showed neither on the domU nor on the dom0, the fs corruption just
"happened silently", just like you said.

Thanks for your help anyway!
