Created an attachment (id=2968) [details]
Example of feed content that causes the reader to invalidate the feed.

Obviously, the best solution would be if a borked characted or element wouldn't
break the WHOLE feed (the loss of previous content is in fact just the
side-effect of this).

Confirming.
