I'm using only one nic in my setup, but had to use a different approach for 
the bridges, which will probably work nice for you, too.

I didn't let the xen scripts handle bridge creation, but used my Xen0 OSes 
init scripts for bridectl for it (gentoo comes with premade scripts there, 
probably other linux flavors, too.)

I had it setup a "br0" bridge, on eth0, should be trivial to have it generate 
br1 for eth1 and so on.

Then I had my xendomains configured to use that bridge instead, like: 
vif = [ 'mac=de:ad:be:ef:00:00, bridge=br0' ]

in your case, 
vif = [ 'mac=de:ad:be:ef:00:00, bridge=br0',
   'mac=00:de:ad:be:ef:00, bridge=br1'
]
(with "nics=2" set)
should do the trick.

I don't remember if I had to patch the xen startup scripts to prevent creation 
of 'xen-br0', maybe you'll need to do that...
