I booted the DomU with machdep.independent_wallclock=1 as kernel
parameter instead. But that didn't work. sysctl still reported it as
0. I've tried setting machdep.xen_disable_rtc_set and
machdep.independent_wallclock after booting, but it does not help either.

Doesn't work. :-/

Well, take it from an old hand: the only reason it would be easier to
program in C is that you can't easily express complex problems in C,
so you don't. - Erik Naggum (in comp.lang.lisp)
