I have a well established blog and each time I post I get many links to my new post due to RSS feed syndication. However All those links have the same anchor which is the very post title is not that bad in google's eyes to have many links to each post with same anchor???! I think this is causing my posts not to rank well recently!
I don't think gaining links by this method is wrong. There are many other blogs which use such type of RSS syndication.
I can't see you being penalised on that front. In my experience good RSS distribution very much helps your articles ride the serps . . . so long as your version gets indexed first. We had some trouble recently though when Google started indexing a scraper sites content over our original content!
