+> I don't think this is a bug. You have a syntax error in your pagespec:
+> "not" is not a recognised keyword in [[pagespecs|ikiwiki/pagespec]],
+> so `and not tagged(...)` should be `and !tagged(...)`. Presumably inline
+> falls back to `pages` when `feedpages` doesn't work.

+> By posting the pagespec here with insufficient escaping (which I've fixed)
+> you caused *this* ikiwiki instance's HTML to contain an error message
+> illustrating that syntax error :-)
