A generic method:

location / {
    root /vhosts/default/test;
    try_files $uri $uri/ @fallback;
}

location @fallback {
    fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/spawn-fcgi.sock;
    ...
}

Or always pass XML to fastcgi:

location / {
    root /vhosts/default/test;
}

location ~ \.xml$ {
    fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/spawn-fcgi.sock;
    ...
}
