I've solved this problem after reading this bug:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=253853

View > Message Body As > Original HTML

It seems that Thunderbird uses this configuration for mail and RSS feeds as
well. When you select to display the message as plain text, it does not show the
feed.

My configuration was already as Original HTML, but the problem was solved when a
upgraded to the release 1.0.1 rc1.
Now this feeds work ok.
