[Feed Validation Service] Error using FeedValidator to validate Atom Feed

I got an error using FeedValidation (http://validator.w3.org/feed/) to
validate an Atom feed.

When I use the "Validate by Direct Input" option to validate an Atom
feed, I got this message:

"An error occurred while trying to validate this feed."

If I try using the SOAP API, I got this response:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Body>
<soap:Fault>
<faultcode>exceptions.AttributeError</faultcode>
<faultstring>'NoneType' object has no attribute 'split'</faultstring>
<detail>
<traceback xmlns="http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-traceback.html">

BTW, the validation of an Atom feed via "Validate by URL" option works
fine, and validation of RSS feed via both "Validate by Direct Input"
or SOAP API also works fine.

A few months ago the Atom feed validation works fine. Maybe something changed?

Any idea?
