I missed that one... but technically, utf-8 is the default encoding for
application/xhtml+xml and the malformed Content-Encoding header should
be ignored. So there's probably a bug to be fixed in the validator.
Perhaps it somehow gets I/O error when trying to apply an undefined
content encoding.

Surely, but the validator should still be able to handle the situation.
(I'm Cc'ing the OP, since people who post to the www-validator list
can't be assumed to have subscribed to it.)
