 it, I'll take a crack at it.

 As I understand the ticket, it's about the last modified date advertised
 by the feeds. Currently (or when this was posted anyway), WP sets it to
 the last post's date or to the last post's modified date (or to whatever
 else... I'm not sure which.)

 OP suggests it should be set to the the same in the appropriate category
 or tag instead.

 In the event the issue is still around, an alternative fix (which would
 likely be better and for all feeds if this hasn't been done already) would
 be to use the latest last modified date from any post that appears in that
 feed (i.e. loop through the main loop's post, and extract the maximum
 modified date). This for any type of feed, ideally -- including the main
 ones and comment feeds.
