What exactly in a mime message triggers this?

MIME_QP_DEFICEIENT triggers on any message who's got a QP encoded segment, 
but contains characters which failed to be escaped, despite escape being 
required to meet QP standards.

20_body_tests.cf:rawbody 
MIME_QP_DEFICIENT      eval:check_for_mime('mime_qp_illegal')

From EvalTests.pm inside a clause which only checks quoted-printable mime 
segments:

      # check for illegal substrings (RFC 2045), hexadecimal values 7F-FF and
      # control characters other than TAB, or CR and LF as parts of CRLF pairs
      if (!$self->{mime_qp_illegal} && 
/[\x00-\x08\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x1f\x7f-\xff]/)
      {
        $self->{mime_qp_illegal} = 1;
      }
