Comment(by dd32):

 > 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.

 I'd say that'd be for not 404'ing valid feed url's, For example, the Feed
 url of a empty category, The feed is a valid feed, even if it has no
 posts.
