Where you able to reproduce it with a clean profile? I've just remembered I cleaned my profile some time ago, so that might be the reason I'm no longer experiencing this.
e.g. do a "mv ~/.liferea_1.2 ~/.liferea_1.2_backup", so you don't lose your data (or you can also create a different user, and try there, which might be better).
