That sounds like a mixup.

pygrub - copies kernel/initrd from the domU image using regular
         file operations to a temporary place, and then just
         starts a VM from that.

pvgrub - a VM is started with pvgrub as kernel which then chainloads
         kernel/initrd inside the VM. It is actually a version of
         grub that uses PV operations.
