An invalid op from the dynamic linker could be a more general bug or a
bug in the python interpreter, but lets try and confirm before we pass
this on.

Can you try:
/usr/lib/xen-default/bin/pygrub --args="root=/dev/xvda2 ro" --output=/var/run/xend/boot/xenbl.8881 /home/starch/data/xen/domains/squeeze/disk.img

Since this is the actual command which is failing.

You might want to replace /var/run/xend/boot/xenbl.8881 with your own
temp file (which you will need to touch first).

Having done that (and assuming it does repro the issue) can you run
under gdb to see where the crash really is.
