Comment (by jonoaldersonwp):

 Yeah, this opens up a lot of mess. Lots of unpleasant edge-cases, and no
 easy/generic solutions which don't require a ton of UI controls and
 micromanaging scenarios.

 So, the conclusion looks like:
 - Multisite setups should behave as per single site setups (which means
 that any 'child' sitemap URLs won't be listed in the robots.txt file(s)).
 - If you're running a multisite setup, and you care about sitemaps/SEO
 etc, you should probably use an SEO plugin with granular controls.
