Is this so difficult to grasp? The validator does check if a document can be interpreted as UTF-8. If this is case, then OK. This problem is with documents that *cannot* be interpreted as UTF-8. - First it assumes "charset=utf-8". - Then it immediately states that this is impossible. Where is the logic in this behaviour? Go (again?) to http://www.unics.uni-hannover.de/nhtcapri/test.htm Make the two checks and ask yourself which error report is more helpful (and more logical).
