That appears to be more helpful than I would have expected.
It looks like stable/8 includes r233791 of 2012-04-02 which is described
as:
MFC Revision 233465
Correct failure to attach the PV block front device on Citrix
XenServer configurations that advertise the multi-page ring
extension,
but only allow a single page of ring space.
Sounds promising, and the small change (only to
sys/dev/xen/blkfront/blkfront.c) was not MFC'd into RELENG_8_3.
Looks like my next step will be to switch my csup tag to RELENG_8
