It works fine for me.

I opened an XML file, executed "%:left" to unindent it, entered your
function definition and mapping by copying and pasting from your
message, moved the cursor to a point midway in the file, and typed "--".
The file was indented and the cursor position restored.

Maybe you have an xml.vim plugin that interferes with XML indenting.
