Comment (by mdgl):

 This bug seems to be languishing because of disagreements on the best way
 to fix the problem.

 I suggest this issue is quite important, however as it may lead to data
 loss. People may be relying on syndicated feeds as a way of copying
 information around. Presently, multi-page posts are effectively destroyed
 when included in feeds, with no indication of the data loss whatsoever!

 I vote that we increase the priority of this a bit and get something
 committed soon.

 Regarding the last comment from Denis-de-Bernardy (comment:12), like the
 other respondents I believe that if the user has requested full content in
 feeds, that's what we should provide and not just some link to see the
 remainder of the content.

 In my opinion, westi's approach to the fix is the most elegant and should
 be taken, although the patch needs a little update for 3.4.1. Since #12651
 [3.0] there is no issue with using the 'pages' array as suggested by
 simonwheatley and this seems preferable to leaving the '<!--nextpage-->'
 comments within the content.

 There is a minor issue with simonwheatley's plugin example (comment:19) as
 this will not respect posts protected with a password. Personally, I use a
 filter on 'the_content_feed' and check the 'multipage' global (and for a
 post password!) before resurrecting the missing content.

 A more general point is that our whole handling of "the content" is
 starting to get rather complex and unwieldy with far too many things
 happening in filters and all over the place - one for another day perhaps!
