Comment:

 This appears to be a blogger thing. Unauthenticated feeds have those
 tracking images in them, while authenticated feeds do not.

 Now, the blogger importer is authenticated, using the older AuthSub
 methods. It appears that this isn't enough for Blogger to not insert the
 images.

 However, I was able to write some OAuth code to get the feed and the
 resulting content did not have the images in there, so it appears that the
 Blogger importer should be converted to use OAuth instead of the much
 easier AuthSub.
