The documentation to theme_node clearly says the the parameter $teaser
is "Whether to display the teaser only, as on the main page." Naming
this parameter $main in the themes is confusing. Main is used elsewhere
to mean "whether to show full view or teaser view", but the meaning of
$teaser seems to be subtly different. 


An alternate to the patch I'm suggesting would be to eliminate $teaser
altogether, system-wide. The variable $main makes it clear that it is
transmitting state (whether or not on the node's main page), whereas
the variable $teaser makes on think it is transmitting the actual
teaser.

I don't follow your logic why $teaser needs to be renamed, especially if
$main is the alternative. If RSS wants to only show the teaser, does
$main=true make sense?

+1 from me. It removes another variable. and it increases the logic.
Instaed of using inversed logic, we now all use one single variable.

I must have been half asleep. It does make sense, and it is logical.
