I was having that problem as well. The temporary solution for me was to validate the style sheets directly. The validator seems to choke on any characters encoded using & such as the &, non-breaking spaces, and the copyright symbol. At first it only did this on password locked pages. Now it is getting this error on public pages as well. And I just went to test this again and it seems to be fixed now. But maybe that will give you somewhere to start looking.
