Problems described in first parts of Debian's bug report was gone after
update, although a problem with "pseudo-leak", explained in
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=767295#75 (and few
following messages) still exists.

As far I  understand second part of bugreport describes problems that
leads to some inconvenient and doubtful messages during
creating/rebooting domU's when memory balloning is disabled, but aren't
very grave in general (although patches are available in Debian
repository - as specific for glibc they are not pushed upstream, I
suppose).

In general, where balloning is disabled, kernel complains few (about
twenty, to be honest) times during creating/restarting domU:

xen:balloon: Cannot add additional memory (-17)

Enabling balloning, for example by dom0_mem=1536M,max:2048M "fixes"
problem, although it is may be troublesome in environments with very
small memory amount assigned to dom0 (as stated in mentioned thread in
Debian's bugzilla).
