Thanks Bernhard - I'm able to reproduce it with your config.

I've had a look, and it seems the register_vcpu_info hypercall is being 
made twice, failing on the second time.  In fact, 
paravirt_pagetable_setup_{start,done} are both being called twice - once 
from arch/x86/kernel/setup.c, and then again from arch/x86/mm/init_32.c

I suspect one of them should go, but I'm not familiar enough with this 
code to suggest which one.

But still with that crudely resolved, the kernel BUGs (see below).  
Jeremy - any ideas?
