My understanding is that currently LVM + Xen is broken, and
has been for a long time. Taking snapshots of paused/running
Xen guests *will* cause your dom0 problems.
The xen-users archive is full of reports, and until that is
fixed I'm not sure there is too much point going down this
road.
(Though I agree it would be nice to have; I use LVM personally
so cloning / installing / copying via snapshots would be nice
to have.)

TODO in the cvsrepository is the closest thing to it. There is
wiki support on trac installed on xen-tools.cvsrepository.org,
but I didn't expect there to be much use and disabled it rather than
deal with spammers. I'll enable it later today..
