The BCH are recoverable. They were moved to an BCH-address that is derived from the seed of the Coinomi wallet with the derivation path of the BSV-wallet. This address will not be displayed by default. In order to recover the coins do the following:
First look up the derivation path of Bitcoin SV. You can do this in Coinomi when you click on "add coin" and choose Bitcoin SV. When chosen the gears-icon appears next to the name of the coin. Click on the gears icon and a popup opens with a button "advanced settings". Click on that button and the derivation path will be shown. It should be M/44'/236'/0'
Now, it could be possible to add Bitcoin Cash to your Coinomi with that derivation path. But that was not working for me, maybe because I already had BitcoinSV added with that path.
So I used this BIP39 Tool instead. Warning: The following means to enter your seed into a tool that is potentialy untrustworthy. After doing this I consider this seed as compromised (even though I used an air-gapped computer to do it). You should probably too. I recommend you move all funds from the wallet before you do this and never use this wallet again afterwards.
Anyway. I downloaded the tool to my computer and opened it in my browser. I put in my seed and set the derivation path to the BSV-path (see above). The tool gives you a list of pub/private key pairs. I used the Coinomi wallet to import sweep the private keys (and set the coin to BCH). The second private key had access to the lost BCH and I had them in my Coinomi wallet again.
