There is a bug in GnuCash 5.2 that prevents saving compressed files, see https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798967.
If you don't compress your XML files or you use a SQL backend you're not affected, and that provides an obvious work-around. We'll get a snap release of GnuCash 5.3 out in a day or so once the cause has been isolated and fixed.
