The meta element is irrelevant because no matter what the encoding, character references always refer to ISO 10646. (And the encoding ought to be specified in the XML declaration.) #153 (#x99) is not the trademark symbol - it is a C1 control (unnamed AFAICT); the trademark symbol is ™ or ™ or ™. It does seem rather odd that the error is reported only when other errors are also present; for this I have no explanation. #153 is included in XML's Char production[1], but being a control, it is not a "legal graphic character", so it should probably not be allowed.
