Thanks for the debugging tip.

Running hexdump -n NNN BAD.txt | xxd -r | file -, with NNN up to 1506 the result is text, at 1508 gives data.

Running hexdump -n 1520 BAD.txt I get: 
0000500 55 00 c7 00 c3 00 4f 00 20 00 2e 00 2e 00 2e 00
0000510 2e 00 2e 00 2e 00 2e 00 2e 00 2e 00 2e 00 2e 00

00005e0 2e 00 20 00 34 00 20 00 20 00 0d 00 0a 00 32 00

strange that the weird character appears before 1508, though ...
