Interesting. Note that both your tests have a Content-Transfer-Encoding
(first: 8bit, second: quoted-printable; the first one gets a slight
indigestion, the second not).

The original messages have no Content-Type, much less Content-Transfer-Encoding
(so x00 as well as x80 should be both a no-no anyway).
