Comment:

 Could not reproduce with default themes.

 `get_wp_title_rss()` has `»` as a default separator:
 [source:tags/3.9.1/src/wp-includes/feed.php#L91].

 This is the same issue as in #21366. It only happens if the theme has a
 custom function attached to `wp_title`, and that function doesn't include
 an `is_feed()` check (as in [21276]). The fix for the theme would be like
 [21327].

 If #21366 is not an option due to backwards compatibility issues, we could
 probably enforce the separator in `get_wp_title_rss()` if the filtered
 title doesn't start with a space. [attachment:22362.patch] does that.
