Yes, this is not a validator bug, this is a bug in your code. The  
validator is (as usual) quite correct.

You are using XHTML. XHTML is hard (or at least harder the HTML).

Why it is throwing an error: <http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#h-4.8>

For some reason you are using XHTML 1.1 and serving it as text/html.  
You (quote) 'SHOULD NOT' do this.
