UserAgent has nothing to do with XML::LibXML, this is a problem with encodings.

Did you google? http://mail.gnome.org/archives/xml/2003-January/msg00038.html

To your snippet, I added 
use Encode::Guess;
die "guessing encoding ",
    guess_encoding($content, 
    Encode->encodings(":all")
);

and I got 
UTF-32BE:Partial character at G:/Perl/lib/Encode/Guess.pm line 124.
UCS-2LE:Partial character at G:/Perl/lib/Encode/Guess.pm line 124.
UTF-32LE:Partial character at G:/Perl/lib/Encode/Guess.pm line 124.
UTF-16BE:Partial character at G:/Perl/lib/Encode/Guess.pm line 124.
UTF-16LE:Partial character at G:/Perl/lib/Encode/Guess.pm line 124.
UTF-32:Unrecognised BOM 3c534352 at G:/Perl/lib/Encode/Guess.pm line 124.
The "bad" response has a meta tag that says CHARSET=gb2312, so I do a search, and see that Encode::CN mentions it gb2312. I hope this helps.

update: Try clean_html(decode('euc-cn', $content ));, it will help (man this has got to say something about your debugging skills).
