I think I could track down the issue:
The mac address is not parsed correctly if not padded with leading zeros
(and no error reported, though):
Using the example above which worked perfectly with the old xm,
xl create -n test.domU
====
...shortened output...
"nics": [
            {
                ...
                "mac": "de:ad:0a:0e:02:00",
                "ip": null,
                "bridge": null,
                "ifname": null,
                ...
            },
            {
                ...
                "mac": "ba:cc:7f:00:00:0b",
                "ip": null,
                "bridge": null,
                "ifname": null,
                ...
            }
        ]
=====
If I use padded bytes,
vif = [ 'mac=de:ad:0a:1e:42:03, ip=10.3.2.3',
        'mac=ba:cc:7f:00:04:01,bridge=backupbr0,script=vif-bridge']
it creates correctly
=====
"nics": [
            {
                ...
                "mac": "de:ad:0a:1e:42:03",
                "ip": "10.3.2.3",
                "bridge": null,
                "ifname": null,
                ...
            },
            {
                ...
                "mac": "ba:cc:7f:00:04:01",
                "ip": null,
                "bridge": "backupbr0",
                "ifname": null,
                ...
            }
        ]

which is totally ok for me. Routes are set and the IP of the routed vif
shows up in xenstore.

Many thanks and best regards,
Ulf
