This has to do with the fact that the verbatim env changes catcodes and 
expects to see a \stoptyping.

Since i knew that you would come up with this question some day ...

   \defineXMLcommand [pre] {\processtaggeddisplayverbatim{</pre>}}

is about the shortest def i can come up with, try:

\startbuffer
<pre>
does
this look \like <xml>
ok
</pre>
\stopbuffer

\processXMLbuffer

Somehow this whole <pre> thing is a bit fuzzy, since it is not clear what 
should expand. If you want expansion,

   \defineXMLgrouped [pre] {\tttf\obeylines\obeyspaces}

is a good alternative.
