Well, you know the vif name, so use "ifconfig" or "ip" commands to get the mac?

Does 'ip a' or 'ifconfig -a' show a different MAC address for your
interface?

Please keep Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com in cc list.
Please post the output from your systems.
'ip a' and 'head /sys/class/net/*/address ' from dom0 and from the domU.

The mac address of a vifX.Y device in dom0 is almost always
fe:ff:ff:ff:ff. This is the largest valid MAC address and is chosen
because the bridge will take on the lowest MAC of all it's ports under
some circumstances so using fe:..... ensures it is never the MAC of a
VIF.
Presumably the original poster wants the MAC of the ethX device within
the guest?
/etc/xen/scripts/vif-nat has an example of how to do this:
# grep mac /etc/xen/scripts/vif*
/etc/xen/scripts/vif-nat: mac=$(xenstore_read "$XENBUS_PATH/mac")
