[notice (again)]
  If you use binary log and don't use any hack of group commit,
  the binary log position seems to be:

xtrabackup: starting shutdown with innodb_fast_shutdown = 1

110217 23:46:06 InnoDB: Shutdown completed; log sequence number 224373

backup_type = full-prepared
from_lsn = 0
to_lsn = 224373
last_lsn = 224373

After that Percona Server was able to start with files restored from this backup
