Hmm, I thought redefining the sexpr in place was an a-okay thing to do,
and this worked on my f8 machine. I'll look into this.
Yes it is an OK thing todo. It is explicitly supported as it is *required*
in order todo installations - we boot the guest with the install config,
and defnie the guest with its persistent config. What exact version of Xen
is being used here ? It looks like it has overzealous duplicate checking
