After upgrading to Drupal 5.2 and Views 5.x-1.6, I noticed that the Node: Body (teaser or full) in my List & Table views was displaying all of the non-empty CCK fields in addition to the body text. I found some references to this problem elsewhere on drupal.org (searched for "view node body cck fields") but not here(?). Anyway, is this a bug to be fixed in Views or system or ? (The workarounds like creating a new separate body-like field don't sound appealing, but if necessary...)

This is the side effect of fixing a bug in the 'body' handling in Views. In order to fix this properly, new code will need to be added to allow you to get just the body field as stored.

The complexity here is in how Drupal completely abuses the 'body' field of the node when generating a node, and at different points it can mean different things. When using CCK, it usually means something much different than when you're not; most of the time, the 'body' means the entire node. But with CCK, people often think of it as just one field.

I'm marking this issue as the bug for tracking these changes for Views 1.7.
