Couldn't we have a global boolean var (call it `M-,-should-use-xref')

It will be a mess, if you ask me.

The idea behind using tags-loop-continue is that the user can call tags-search, get to the first match, mess around in whatever way she wants there, then call tags-loop-continue to advance to the second match, and so on.

There's no reason to assume that "messing around" won't include calling some xref command. And then tags-loop-continue will be broken.
