Well, a clever idea wouldn't come from me (lack of detailed curl knowledge 8-)

Isn't the solution to the problem that you should accept this as a valid
pattern? (Uhum, sounded too easy). What I mean is that if you recognize this
as an illegal pattern (and even the position) then it would be easy to do a
check whenever the error occurs and call a fallback routine to handle this
pattern.

...or are there any pitfalls I miss here?
