Because domain 0 know nothing about console of HVM-domains.
You can attach to the consoles of paravirtual domains, 
but not to HVM.

I think, you can try this solution:

1. Redirect console inside HVM domain to serial console
2. In the config file of your domain specify

serial='pty'

and after that try to connect using minicom or xm console.
