No.  No, no, no, no, no.  Malformed messages only become an issue when
someone aserts that they're not malformed.  In the absence of DKIM
signatures, the reasonable thing to do with a malformed message is to
render it.  In the presence of a DKIM signature, the reasonable thing
is something else.  That's why this is a DKIM issue.

Huh? I think it's highly debatable about whether it's reasonable to just
render a malformed message, especially in this day and age. Which is why the
addition of DKIM is largely orthogonal.
