I can reproduce this bug with package:
virt-manager-1.2.1-8.el7.noarch

Steps are the same as description above.

Then try to verify with new build:
virt-manager-1.3.2-1.el7.noarch

Steps:
1.Ensure xen server could be access
2.Run virt-manager. Add a new connect to xen host by clicking "File->Add Connection", select "Xen" in Hypervisor, check the "Connect to remote host" and input the hostname, then click "Connect".
3.Create a new guest by clicking the "Create a new virtual machine" icon and select "Local install media(ISO or CDROM)" then click forward and select rhel7.2.iso, then keep all the settings default until finish.
4.Enter into installation interface and click option "Install Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2".

Results:
After step4 , black screen doesn't occur and the guest can be installed successfully.
