Description
This module treats at least some forum containers as regular forums. Also, the container-level feed does not seem to produce any actual posts - even though posts exist within forums of that container, and the number of Posts in that container is counted correctly (sometimes).
To see an easy example, just check out out website:
http://www.paloaltoactivism.com/syndication
I left the module active, but turned off the block.
My home/ page has the forums. You'll notice two top-level 'containers', and on the syndication page you'll see only one top-level forum indicated. You should also be able to see that the top level container ('Palo Alto Local') does not actually have any posts in it.

Kudos on filing a bug report for this issue,
Container also should show rss feeds in its child forums.
i am also would be watching this bug report.

I don't think this is a bug with Syndication, but as a result of the way Drupal generates feeds for forums. I have been trying to find the Drupal-generated feed for the forum containers, and there does not appear to be any.
In this case, the Syndication module should display the container as a heading, not as a feed.

I've got some code that will make forum containers report correctly (the feed contains posts from all threads). I'll commit it once I've done a bit more testing.

The issue actually relates to all multi-level taxonomies.
