Reproducible: Always
Moving to MailNews Core, which I think is responsible for this.

Nope, this is more likely an issue with Thunderbird.

We wouldn't stop a 3.0 or 3.1 release from going out the door based only on the knowledge that one person has seen this happen with a single RSS feed.

I can confirm this for multiple feeds. Some open a single tab in FF, others open multiple.If I can provide any info to help, let me know.
Yup, I've got a couple of feeds that now open windows, including this one: http://blog.crozat.net/2010/04/mandriva-linux-2010-spring-beta-1.html
