HTML5-parsers MUST support UTF-8. They do not need to support any other
encoding. Pre-HTML5-parsers are not required to support the UTF-8
encoding - or any other particular encoding.
Up to here, that's indeed what the spec says, except for XHTML, which is
XML and therefore includes UTF-8 (and UTF-16) support, but my guess is
that you didn't include this.
But when they do support
the UTF-8 encoding, they are, however, not permitted to be 'intolerant'
of the BOM.
Where does it say so?

Thus there is nothing special with regard to the UTF-8 BOM and
pre-HTML5 HTML.
