The reply looks ok to me. I've tried quickly writing an xmlrpc in perl
 (using XMLRPC::Lite) and tested using core rpcs and it works both with
  normal answers and with faults.

E.g:
 time perl ~/sr.git/xmlrpc_test.pl  foobar
 fault{
    faultCode: 500
    faultString: Method Not Found
  }

I don't know why is taking so long (especially since the reply is sent
immediately after the request). However I don't think the parsing fails.
I'm not familiar with python xmlrpc, but
xmlrpclib.Fault: <Fault 500: 'Method Not Found' looks ok given the
reply.

You get a fault reply because you try to call domain_reload which does
not exist (the correct rpc name is domain.reload).
