OK,  I think I may have it working (although there's a new problem.)

did you mean LMS looks for these library xml file names IN THAT SPECIFIC
ORDER?   Because from my testing it would appear that it takes the first
one it finds in alphabetical order.  A few more iterations I tried and
when I named the exported file *"iTunes Library.xml"* without the other
one present, it seemed to work.  I also blanked out the path to Playlist
folder in LMS Library tab (still leaving the Use iTunes box checked.)

One wrinkle and one new problem:
as mentioned I was interested in my "Recently Added" playlist.  This is
a built-in playlist in iTunes and also in Music.app.   That text appears
in the exported xml file (although I can't tell much more than that
about it.)   However, after the rescan that DID work, there is no
Recently Added playlist anymore!  LMS must not be able to use the new
format.   Fortunately I had also made my own "smart playlist" in
Music.app called RecentlyAddedSmart which just shows the more recently
added 100 songs.   That shows up in LMS and all the new stuff I added
recently was in there.  I checked a few other playlists I had updated
recently and those changes are reflected in LMS.  So that problem more
or less resolved.

HOWEVER, I see that a large portion of my album art is no longer showing
in LMS.  It appears in Music.app, but in LMS there seems to be no rhyme
or reason why some are showing and others are not.   This isn't as big a
concern for me, although it would be nice if SB Touch showed a nice
album cover instead of blank.  I will work on it, but that's for another
thread.  I can say right off the bat that music I recently purchased via
iTunes and downloaded, shows album art in Music.app but doesn't show in
LMS.    That is not very surprising.  But I also see lots of old albums
that I've been listening to through LMS for years, which I know showed
art on my SB Touch, the art is missing.   I will take a look at Doug's
scripts as I recall that's an area where lots of people had issues and
there are some fixes.    Bliss was another one I saw.  If anyone has
experience/tips along these lines, I'd love to hear from you!
