Attribution of syndicated blog entries

Weird things are going on with blog feeds into Extra. For example, http://extra.wikitravel.org/node/864 shows as from "Jonboy" in the Recent changes list but not in the article itself, while http://extra.wikitravel.org/node/862 and http://extra.wikitravel.org/node/873 are completely anonymous.

Problem with cron
It's actually a problem with Drupal cron -- it runs everything as anonymous and this is overwriting the feed author in feed items. Thus the inconsistency. It's a known problem in Drupal and I'm expecting a patch soon. Until then, I've just been fixing the attribution by hand as soon as I see it.
Thanks

Afraid so
Jonboy's and the Travel News feed items seem to have been reimported, with comments posted to them lost. Eg. this one used to have a comment from me:
http://extra.wikitravel.org/node/934
Bug or feature?

Errr, bug...
I'll try and recover the lots comments. Still waiting for cron to do it's magic and confirm that we're getting author names now...
