I suspect when a browser receives a 404 error it just displays the HTML (or whatever) that is returned along with the error. Typically a website would return some kind of error message and that is how you know that something went wrong. However if the website chose not to return an error message (as in this case, where you're getting back what looks like a perfectly valid feed), there's really no way for you to know that anything failed.
