Apart from mislabeling what is most-likely in fact a CTE of "8bit" rather
than binary, what problem does this actually cause?

The transport of true BINARYMIME content generally also requires
CHUNKED encoding, which is also not supported by Postfix. I dimly
remember dealing with a bug in Exchange along these lines a long
time ago, and thought it was fixed not long after. How ancient is
the Exchange system in question.

No, but it does not matter, it certainly does not advertise such
support in the EHLO response, so sending system can legitimately
send such content into Postfix.
