Research direction
Reproduce the failure with feedparser.parse('http://threeminds.organic.com/feed') and inspect feedparser.py at _end_category, around line 1525, where the traceback points. Determine why tags contains an unexpected value during parsing; done means this feed parses without the reported TypeError, with regression coverage if the repository provides a suitable test location.
