 2.4-bleeding has been deployed on wordpress.com which exposes a problem
 with the patch associated with [http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5181
 ticket 5181].  This ticket partially backs that change out until a proper
 fix can be made.

 The root issue is that the app support and the rest of wp produce feeds
 differently, and in the process interpret the database differently.  The
 app support will put HTML in $post->post_content, but the rest of
 wordpress assumes that the post_content contains text which, after passed
 through various filters, produces html.  This is a subtle difference which
 doesn't show up immediately, but the simple presence of blank lines will
 cause the two to produce noticeably different results.

 For app to function properly, there needs to be a way to "unfilter"
 (x)html, i.e., a way to reverse engineer what text would produce the
 equivalent of a given (x)html result after filtering.  But to that proper
 fix will take time, so meanwhile the 2.3 functionality should be restored
