New description:

 When XML sitemaps are disabled via `wp_sitemaps_enabled`,
 `redirect_sitemapxml` still runs and redirects requests from
 `/sitemap.xml` to `/wp-sitemap.xml`.

 This is unintended behaviour; if the sitemaps are disabled, this redirect
 should be disabled.

 includes/sitemaps/class-wp-sitemaps.php#L205
