 You should be able to see this by looking at the WordPress Development
 Blog feed on the dashboard.  One is actually three periods, and one is
 …

 It looks like the problem is that feeds (including those created by
 WordPress) often have a description that is shorter than 360 characters
 and already ends in [...], which means that the string is not shortened at
 all, but is treated as though it was.  The … is added in wp-
 includes/default-widgets.php on line 804:

 {{{
 $desc = wp_html_excerpt( $desc, 360 ) . ' […]';
 }}}
