...raises an error.

According to CSS 2.1, this is exactly as it should be. The BOM (byte-order mark,
U+FEFF) is not distinguished in the scanner from any other character outside of
the Latin-1 repertoire. Thus the BOM starts an identifier, which starts a rule set.

CSS3 will probably change the regulations to account for the special meaning of
a BOM.
