UTF-8 BOM

A file consisting of a UTF-8 BOM
Opening a file which contains only a UTF-8 BOM (i.e. U+FEFF, "Zero width
no-break space") causes the following message to appear:
The file /path/to/BOM was opened with UTF-8 encoding but contained invalid
characters.
It is set to read-only mode, as saving might destroy its content.
Either reopen the file with the correct encoding chosen or enable the
read-write mode again in the tools menu to be able to edit it.
Such a file can be created with:
printf "\xef\xbb\xbf" > BOM
I've also attached the file here.
If there are other characters following the BOM there is no error message.
