>XP is not an in-universe thing. Your character having learned how to shoot better shouldn't stop him from having his leg magically healed.
"Gee I would love to not be Lame/One-Legged, but I'd really rather just shoot stuff better instead. Can't I just like, get free points instead GM?"
I will however direct your attention to "Traits Acquired in Play" (B291). Just as the GM can give you a free advantage at no point cost to you, so can he remove a disadvantage at no point cost to you. And this isn't just "well the GM can ignore the rules" but something that's actually in the rulebook, so no sense whining about thought-termination.
I do disagree with that sidebar on one point, though. If a PC doesn't receive points for a Disad gained in play (as they shouldn't), I'm much more lenient about them getting rid of it in-play without likewise spending points.
Of course, if the GM were to clear off one of your starting disads without your spending points, I would hope he's also rewarding the other players suitably since I'm not a fan of uneven character point values. But that's easily enough arranged. If you've saved the cathedral and the high priest rewards Player C by curing his Lame leg, then Player A might get some kind of enchanted sword, and Player B might gain a Contact Group (the Church in Question).
