The thing is:

• Before Hugo 0.123.0, these "standalone" pages (sitemap, 404, ...) lived a separate life with special handling.
• In 0.123.0 they have a Kind and they are stored in the same tree structure as the other pages, and they are rendered in the same loop as the rest.
• This means that the sitemap gets assigned the logical path /sitemap.
• If you add content that also resolves to the /sitemap path, you effectively turn off sitemap.

I understand that sitemap may be a common section, and I'm open to suggestions as to improving this without messing with the general concept above.

OK, thinking about this, I think we can easily fix this by making the path for the sitemap into something more distinct. I will fix it.
