Did you check the DTD?

<!ELEMENT html (head, frameset)>

i.e. The html element must contain exactly one head element and
exactly one frameset element (in that order).

Your code was missing the required frameset element and had a body
element instead.

Nothing wrong with the validator in this instance.
