Hi David, I'm not aware of anything in Joomla's core that would redirect sitemap.xml. I use that name on a few sites and have never had any issue with Google not funding it.
That said, Xmap works great as well as AceSEF ( http://www.joomace.net/joomla-extensions/acesef-joomla-seo-sef-urls). Hope that helps.
