If these entities are not allowed when served as application/xhtml+xml
shouldn't the W3C validator pick this up? Or has Safari got it wrong?

Not really wrong. Firefox and recent Opera versions rely on the Doctype to parse the document as xml in addition to the mime-type [1], while Safari bases its parsing only on the mime-type.
