The term "validate" is defined in the XML recommendation. Unless it says
otherwise, it (ought to be) safe to assume that a validating parser does
what is defined there, in which case switching parsers shouldn't change
the result if you don't change the DTD so it's not supprising that you
found two online validators that gave the same result.

It returns the result mandated by the XML specification. The document is
a valid XML file, and any validating XML parser must report it as such.

The validator is doing nothing wrong. As I said in the message to which
you replied, we should perhaps look to change the DTD for mathml3, but
that's for a future time, not now.
