Comment(by solarissmoke):

 Looking more closely, the WP_Query::set_404() function deliberately does
 not reset the is_feed boolean like it does with everything else when a 404
 is found, suggesting that for some reason this is intentional.

 Any comments on why this might be the case? I think a 404 should go
 through the 404 template regardless of what is requested. if_feed isn't
 really valid because even though the query might look like it is for a
 feed, no such resource exists and therefore we shouldn't assume it is a
 feed.
