The host machine has 12GB of RAM. I tried increasing the guest to 1G/2G
(min/max), but that didn't help. By skipping the OO packages, though, I
was able to get FC9 installed and running. (Thank you!)
On a related issue, several times I've had xen problems that I could
only fix by rebooting the (host) machine. Particularly when these guest
machines have gone bad, the VM manager, although not actually frozen, is
unable to do anything useful. If I disconnect from the host, it is
unable to reconnect. In some cases, xm was still useful, although in at
least one case I repeatedly got back:
Error: Device 0 not connected
For all these problems, I tried restarting libvirtd, xend and
xendomains, to no effect. Is there anything else that can be done to
solve these xen problems, short of rebooting?
Thanks.

Thanks to all who offered responses. I tried this again, using an
LVM volume instead of a file-backed disk. It still hangs again at
the exact same spot. Again, the mouse is not responsive, nor does it
respond to ctrl-alt-f1, f2, etc. The VM manager shows it is still
running, and using about 12.5% of my CPU (although it fluctuates a
bit). The machine also still responds to pings.
Why don't you install it without the Office packages an add them back
in post-install?
As to the problems you are seeing, how much memory does your VM
machine have? I remember running into problems doing an upgrade on a
low memory system, I think via http, where it ended up continually
swapping, having downloaded the big openoffice.org-core package to
ramdisk and then was trying to install it (this was non-xen and a few
Fedoras ago).
Incidentally I installed Fedora 9 on Centos 5 earlier today so it is
certainly possible (unlike Fedora 10 on Centos 5).
