When attempting to boot a Xen guest using legacy_configfile /boot/grub/menu.lst the following config is generated:

The problem seems to be the repeated file name on the "legacy_initrd" line. Editing the generated config and removing that second file name allows for a normal boot.

This has been discussed on grub-devel in this thread
