the_content_rss filter doesn’t work?

    I was trying to make a filter hook that edits the RSS content, but the_content_rss filter doesn’t seem to work for me. Here’s my test plugin code:

    function test_function($content='')
{
	return 'New content';
}

add_filter('the_content_rss', 'test_function');

    This works fine for the site content if I replace the_content_rss with the_content, and it also works in the RSS feed if I use the_title_rss, but it doesn’t work for the_content_rss (note that I am force refreshing with cntrl-f5).

    Anyone have any ideas on what the problem might be?

    Does anyone know anything about this?

    Known issue. If you look at the wp-rss2.php file, you’ll find this line:
    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<?php the_content() ?>]]></content:encoded>

    It should probably be this instead:
    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<?php the_content_rss() ?>]]></content:encoded>

    Yeah, my feed plugins start with:

    if ( ! is_feed() ) return $content;
