I'm not sure how can you get to this path, the libxl chunk in 
stable-4.5 is:

271     if (disk->format == LIBXL_DISK_FORMAT_EMPTY) {
272         if (!disk->is_cdrom) {
273             LOG(ERROR, "Disk vdev=%s is empty but not cdrom", disk->vdev);
274             return ERROR_INVAL;
275         }
276         memset(&a.stab, 0, sizeof(a.stab));
277     } else if ((disk->backend == LIBXL_DISK_BACKEND_UNKNOWN ||
278                 disk->backend == LIBXL_DISK_BACKEND_PHY) &&
279                disk->backend_domid == LIBXL_TOOLSTACK_DOMID &&
280                !disk->script) {
281         if (stat(disk->pdev_path, &a.stab)) {
282             LOGE(ERROR, "Disk vdev=%s failed to stat: %s",
283                         disk->vdev, disk->pdev_path);
284             return ERROR_INVAL;
285         }
286     }

So it seems that block-attach is ignoring the 'backend=foo' field in 
the disk configuration?

Can you paste the full output of the execution with -vvv?

Roger.
