Just to recap, this seems like a bug in Xen or Xenlinux. 
MMUEXT_SET_FOREIGNDOM seems to expect the granted pages to be owned by 
the grantee already, instead of the granter. I've disabled the check in 
Xen, and fglrx now proceeds to take down the machine when I start X. 
Perhaps it would be better to spend the time on the open drivers at 
http://r300.sourceforge.net/ , or wait for ATI to discover Xen.
