Are you sure? Can you point to the language in the spec that says 
that?(I really want to know, by the way, because otherwise I'm less 
than 24 hours away from getting on a plane to deliver a paper that 
claims otherwise)

Certainly this is true if the parser is reading a well-formed XML 
document, but that's not really the case here. Something else is 
going on, and how ContentHandler should behave in these circumstances 
is much less well-defined.
