Yes. Indeed, it was my old Emacs 21.4.1 to use it that way and
produce the MIME output damaged quite badly as a consequence.
However, shouldn't the error be signalled, so that some useful
diagnostics be shown instead of producing garbage on output (on
this certain garbage on input)? I guess, it's quite likely this
library may get used by some other, not necessarily correct,
code.
(A wishlist priority item.)
