You're welcome.

I am no expert in XML, but I thought that closing tags began with
a slash, not a backslash; that is, with "</", not "<\". Apparently
Vim's XML indent plugin thinks so, too.

I copied your example to another buffer, set its filetype to "xml",
replaced all backslashes with slashes, and executed "gg=G". The
result was indented as I think you and I expected it to be, like
this:

<xml>
<totalbytes>2952962267</totalbytes>
<image index="1">
<dircount>13363</dircount>
<filecount>64267</filecount>
<totalbytes>11707704502</totalbytes>
<creationtime>
<highpart>0x01cb8936</highpart>
<lowpart>0x131f339a</lowpart>
</creationtime>
<lastmodificationtime>
<highpart>0x01cb8950</highpart>
<lowpart>0xbc4d774b</lowpart>
</lastmodificationtime>
<doors>
<arch>9</arch>
<hal>acpiapic</hal>
<languages>
<language>en-us</language>
<default>en-us</default>
</languages>
<systemroot>doors</systemroot>
</doors>
<hardlinkbytes>4497873056</hardlinkbytes>
</image>
</xml>
