I can confirm the issue with 2.6.32-696.18.7.el6.x86_64, but mine looks 
alittle different... Maybe because i'm using pvgrub.

============= Init TPM Front ================
Tpmfront:Error Unable to read device/vtpm/0/backend-id during tpmfront 
initialization! error = ENOENT
Tpmfront:Info Shutting down tpmfront
close blk: backend=/local/domain/0/backend/vbd/14/51712 
node=device/vbd/51712
close blk: backend=/local/domain/0/backend/vbd/14/51728 
node=device/vbd/51728
