The copyright information in the attached XML file looks syntactically correct, but MuseScore (2.0.2 on Windows 10) prints the XML tags (with little changes) in plain text at the bottom of the page (see snapshot).

Confirmed. As currently footer text (MusicXML credit-words at the bottom of the first page) gets imported as copyright, which by default gets printed unformatted in the footer by MuseScore, the formatting should be removed on import.

Nothing in the footer for current nightly. Is it a bug?

latest build even crashes on opening the XML from the initial post.:
Fatal: ASSERT: "!empty()" in file ...\MuseScore\libmscore\stafftypelist.cpp, line 44 (...\MuseScore\libmscore\stafftypelist.cpp:44, )

No, not fixed. No crash, but also no copyright text

Behaviour is as designed. The copyright metadata (which is what is displayed by default by MuseScore in the footer) is imported from MusicXML score-partwise/identification/rights element, which is missing from the attached file. It does contain a copyright statement in a score-partwise/credit/credit-words element positioned at the bottom of the page, but this is not imported into metadata. In the past, it was imported, but this caused issues when the title is at the bottom. See #42281: [MusicXML] Title converted to copyright on import if positioned at bottom of page fixed with commit 32e36c4. Issue can be closed.
