This particular one was obtained with wget on OpenBSD.  I've observed the same problem with files saved from Winamp.

That seems to be the problem, rather than libvorbis - it plays without problems, though it doesn't pass ogginfo.  I had assumed that there was a problem with the first and last bits of data that was preventing vorbisfile from properly parsing the file.

Can you save a live stream to disk and have it perform properly?  I've used http://ogg.bbc.co.uk:8001/radio1_high.ogg and http://ogg.bbc.co.uk:8001/radio1_low.ogg ; you might try those first.
