I figured out the offending "HTML". When you save a document as a web page
in Word it embeds some tags/attributes in the HTML to support Word Smart
Tags. The offending attribute was in the HTML tag:
xmlns:st1="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags"
If I remove just this attribute, the problem goes away. Fortunately I don't
think this customer is actually using Smart Tags in their document. So in
the Tools | Options | Save tab they can just uncheck the checkbox labeled
"Embed Smart Tags". The new file no longer contains the Smart Tag support
and the problem goes away.
Of course I wish I could tell them to stop using freakin' Word as their HTML
editor, but alas...
