I might not be qualified for saying how text/plain parts are
useful, but

I realized it is effective to render even text/plain parts as
HTML if a user prefers to see them, and we will be able to call
it a bug that text/plain parts contain raw HTML tags.  So, I've
added the following variable (and the code).  Could you try it?

`nnrss-wash-html-in-text-plain-parts'
     Non-`nil' means that `nnrss' renders text in `text/plain' parts as
     HTML.  The function specified by the `mm-text-html-renderer'
     variable (*note Display Customization: (emacs-mime)Display
     Customization.) will be used to render text.  If it is `nil',
     which is the default, text will simply be folded.  Leave it `nil',
     if you prefer to see `text/html' parts.
