I am pleased to report that this bug has been fixed. See
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=30177
Pages which suddenly began giving this error (with no changes) just
as suddenly began validating correctly few days after I posted this.
The reason I didn't give a single URL to test is that it applied to
ALL pages.
