OK, so, playing around with my test version, I've discovered that including Use Try; breaks it in exactly the way I'm seeing, regardless of whether or not there are any try/catch blocks. If I remove Try from my script, it works (but will be more fragile), except that it's still breaking on some feeds, always on lines that contain CDATA, but they all include CDATA blocks, and these aren't the first in the feeds, so it's not going to be that obvious:

 -- Feed is broken -- 
End tag mismatch (itunes:subtitle != content:encoded) [Ln: 735, Col: 2
+93548366282188]

Line 734
78                      <itunes:subtitle><![CDATA[It is the QUESTIONS 
+EPISODE!]]></itunes:subtitle>

If I run it several times, the same feeds are consistently breaking on the same line, so something weird is still happening.
