According to <xen-3.4.3/tools/python/xen/xm/create.py:158> gopts.var('bootargs', val='NAME', fn=set_value, default=None, use="Arguments to pass to boot loader") the "bootloader_args" parameter needs to be translated into "bootargs" when using "virsh domxml-to-native xen-xm". The reverse direction (domxml-from-native) is already okay. This patch fixes domxml-to-native and adds two test files to catch this problem.
