RFC 1049 is not the only other place which has defined content-type headers.

Please give an example of a non-MIME content-type header which
conforms to the MIME grammar.

They will certainly sure break on messages which contain non-ascii
characters, whether it be binary or just non-ASCII text.

They would certainly sure break on the same messages were they to
check for the existence of MIME-Version.  Those messages don't conform
to 822 and they don't conform to MIME.
