It should work.  It seems to be working for me on pmwiki.org:

http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki?action=rss&group=Cookbook&$:Version=2007-05*

Note that by default Main/HomePage?action=rss above expects 
Main/HomePage to have a trail on it that is used to construct
the RSS feed.  If you want it to explicitly search the entire
site, you need a group=, name=, or link= parameter that tells
?action=rss to use something other than a trail for the source
of the feed.
