Excellent points. The primary issue for me is the fact that

paging is acceptable.
I'm pretty sure I agree with you, but please define "stable".
Look at how twitter implements paging (it's not using atom, but the
concept stands). The content on page=2 of your twitter changes as a
function of new posts on the home page, although the entries themselves
are uniquely identified. That's not stable.
