I was unable to reproduce this problem on Xen 3.1.0 although I can't
immediately see a particular changeset which obviously fixed it. There
have been plenty of fixes to the emulator since 3.0.3 though so it's
worth trying a newer version.

The emulation of lgdt (in tools/firmware/vmxassist/vm86.c) looks sane
enough on first glance (i.e. it saves the base and length not the
pointer) although it isn't an area of the code I'm particularly familiar
with.
