Comment(by hakre):

 This is a flaw with simple pie. The automatic Feed locating mechnaism does
 not identify "text/plain" as a valid contenttype for a feed. Technically
 spoken it is not a valid contenttype.

 Since the decision is based on contenttype, it could be added (as in the
 patch) to get it working.

 WP should not fix it but SimplePie or there is another option, called
 force_feed which can be set with ->force_feed(true) in feed.php (second
 patch). That seems far more reasonable, since
