Sorry, I was speaking informally about "plain text", in the sense that at least many people would expect that to be text for human consumption, where control codes such as ^A, ^B, ^C aren't meaningful. It's possible that text/plain has a defined technical meaning, and perhaps it does permit such characters, but my interpretation of test 16 is that those control characters are what it was referring to.
