TIKA-214 has now been filed, along with the sample XLS file.

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-214

Should I separately bother the POI folks about this issue?

Incidentally, although sad and hacky it may be worth noting that
catting the output of strings and "strings -el" does a decent job of
pulling unique strings out. (Although does include font names, etc.)
