Using the W3C markup validator, I get the 500 response for the URL
specified in the original question. There is something odd with the
server.

The HTTP protocol indeed defines what the error code 406 means.
Typically it results from misconfigured language negotiation. In
general, the server tries to find a resource that matches the request
headers, and when that fails, 406 error is issued and it should be
accompanied with some explanation. But this might also result from some
misconfiguration.
The Lynx browser gets the 406 response, too.
