Thanks, I can now see that your patch indeed fixes that problem.

So I fixed your commit message to follow our preferred format:

    sgml-mode: Only set sgml-xml-mode if guessed to be an XML file

    * lisp/textmodes/sgml-mode.el (sgml-mode): Don't override
    sgml-xml-mode if the result of the guess is used as the buffer local
    value.  (Bug#47877)

It is now pushed to master (3e727cf20b); closing this bug.
