Arch Linux RSS feeds

Does anyone else experience inconsistencies with the RSS feeds?
Here are some examples:

http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/git/
git 1.7.4.4-1 Build Date: April 7, 2011, 1:44 a.m. UTC Last Updated: 2011-04-06
In my feed reader it shows as: Date: Mon, 28 Mar 2011 05:04:24 +0300 and it never got marked as new package.

http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/pango/ (this is the top package on the RSS feed right now)
pango 1.28.4-2 Build Date: April 7, 2011, 10:58 a.m. UTC Last Updated: 2011-04-07
In my feed reader it shows as: Date: Tue, 05 Apr 2011 01:04:32 +0300  and it never got marked as new package either.

I have also noticed that the same thing happens to the RSS feeds from the bugtracker as well.
For example https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/23512 was closed on Monday, 04 April 2011, 23:06 GMT+2
In my feed reader it shows as: Date: Wed, 30 Mar 2011 11:48:50 +0300 (in the closed items feed) .Never got marked as new again.

The news reader i use is newsbeuter but i remember similar behaviour from liferea as well. Does anyone else get the same?
One way of verifying such a behaviour would be checking the above three examples.
