Comment (by Eric3D):

 I confirm that the #18505 patch works.

 Since the file changed significantly since the patch was written, the
 place to add ''is_feed()'' in WP 3.9.1 is line 563 in class-wp.php:
 {{{
                 // Never 404 for the admin, robots, or if we found posts.
                 if ( is_admin() || is_robots() || $wp_query->posts ||
 is_feed() ) {
                         status_header( 200 );
                         return;
                 }
 }}}
 Any reason why this hasn't made it to the core after 3 years?
