As it happens, the UTF8 error was in a line further on, where it 
talks about quotation marks and lists the left and right double angle 
quotes « and ». I fixed that UTF-8 but the point is that if you have 
a UTF-8 error the validator just says what line it is in and doesn't 
provide you with marked up text, which it does for invalid characters 
in, say, Latin 1.
