Comment (by vaurdan):

 Hey @pbiron! The rewrite rules have been flushed (prior to the ticket,
 should have mentioned that) and the problem still persists.

 We have a few sites in WordPress VIP with this particular issue (using
 `msm-sitemap` and with the native sitemaps disabled by filter). The
 workaround I included was the only way to stop the 404's.

 > Hi @vaurdan.  Thanx for the report.
 >
 > Can you please try to the following: after activating Metro Sitemaps,
 flush the rewrite rules.  The easiest way to do that is to go to `Settings
 > Permalinks` and click "Save Changes" (you don't actually have to make
 any changes).
 >
 > I think that will solve the 404 problem you're having.
