Yes that's the one.

Hmm, yes I think so too. I misread tick_dev_program_event(), it seems
like it Does The Right Thing and I do see the Xen set_next_event hook
get called which I thought wasn't getting called earlier.

Turns out the virtual timer IRQ isn't getting reinitialised before
tick_oneshot_resume runs so we are just missing the interrupt, doh!

Subject: xen: resume interrupts before system devices.

otherwise the first timer interrupt after resume is missed and we never
get another.
