Any unicode document can have BOM in any place! And presence of BOM 
cannot break any correctly written unicode reader.

>From other side, presence of "=EF=BB=BF" BOM can help with identify 
of UTF-8 encoding by unicode reader, even you not have information 
from MIME header. (like when you save part content to file...)

You must ask by reverse question: is here RFC what says: "you cannot 
use BOM in MIME part content"?

BTW: BOM for UTF-8 has been added long time ago for stupid Outlook, 
what ignoring charset information in part headers in some cases and 
detecting UTF-8 by BOM presence.

Have you some unicode mailer, what have problem with BOM? :-O
