I'm not sure this is a bug, but I can't explain why it's failing!

I have two private blogs within a site, and I'm trying to bring them together in one feed manager as described here https://www.mojoportal.com/using-the-blog-feed-in-feed-manager using the InternalFeedSecurityBypassKey hack.

I have added the app setting with the guid and I can access both blogs via direct URL, by adding &g={my guid} to the feed link URL.

However the feed manager displays items from one blog but not the other, and we see this in the system log:

The XML from the "bad" feed, when accessed directly, starts:

 

 
    Developers Blog
    https://www.esdm.co.uk/developers-blog
   
    http://www.rssboard.org/rss-specification
    mojoPortal Blog Module

Any idea why it could be choking?
