That's why the patch only adds the headers in cases where there is no :mime
parameter in the vacation statement. This is what the ID states:

----
   3.4. MIME Parameter
   
      The ":mime" parameter, if supplied, specifies that the reason string
      is, in fact, a MIME part, including MIME headers (see section 2.4.2.4
      of [SIEVE]).
   
      If the optional :mime parameter is not supplied, the reason string is
      considered to be a UTF-8 string.
