Excerpt from the RSS XML from the URL in your screenshot:

...
<channel>
  <title>Why Manufacturers Make a Specific Camera Lens</title>
  ...
  <item>
    <title>Why Manufacturers Make a Specific Camera Lens</title>
    ...

So, yes, if intended it's an unfortunate feature of the feed generator,
otherwise just a mistake.

Not sure it can be called a bug, because technically nothing in the
specification¹ precludes you from changing the channel title as often as
you want.
