My apologies on this, I think I neglected to test this bug with no initialization file. I tried it with `emacs -q` and got the behavior you describe (which I agree is reasonable). I got the behavior I mentioned with all my inits loaded, so I expect it's some interaction between nxml-mode and one of those. That will be a fun exercise to try and figure out ;-)

Again my apologies for not having tested this properly before raising the bug.
