If you can, report it according to the Validator.nu bug reporting instructions instead. This inconvenience is because the W3C validator uses the Validator.nu engine which is developed and maintained by a different team than the W3C validator to validate HTML 5 documents, and addressing bug reports directly to the team working on the system in question is likely to result in better and more timely responses.
