d-i should have installed the 686-bigmem image when running under Xen due to the use of the 686-bigmem kernel for the Xen variant of the installer. I'll investigate why this didn't happen.

With the 686-bigmem kernel I don't think this will be necessary, if you could try it and let me know that would be great.
