Well... Considering that I didn't realize it until now I have no  
answer :-)

Can you file a bug, please?

RSS feeds are restricted using the "view" permission.  So if you  
can't view the page, you can't access the rss feed either.

BTW, global RSS feeds should be disabled, if you have view-restricted  
pages.  It's a file which gets generated... It might be a good idea  
to move to a dynamic model in that, I think...
