Comment:

 Would it not be better to move the escaping of the closing CDATA into a
 function on the {{{the_content}}} filter which can then itself check
 is_feed() and also if necessary easily be removed by a plugin?

 However as has been said before we don't want to change this too much
 close to release maybe we should just move the current code to a filter
 function for now but with no conditional check.
