Since the content in <pre>...</pre> is preformatted it would be good
if nxml-mode did not reformat it during indentation.

XML attaches no such semantic meaning to tags.

Maybe it would be useful for nxml-mode to have a more general way for
the user to specify not to indent within a block denoted by a
tag.

Yes, it should probably be more general to allow for specific handling
of certain tags in certain DTD:s, for example <pre> in XHTML.

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)

Yeah, I think it'd be wrong for nxml-mode to do anything special with
<pre>.  html-mode, on the other hand, should respect <pre>, and there a
separate bug report for that.

So I'm closing this bug report.
