What appears to be happening here is that an API error is being raised somewhere after the point where the custom feed printer is initialized, and the custom feed printer chokes when asked to print that API error.

I don't see any obvious candidates for the cause of the original error, but that doesn't matter much since this situation should be handled anyway. For testing, this bug can be reproduced by locally editing ApiFeedRecentChanges to throw an exception from its execute() method.
