Character data is allowed directly inside the body element in XHTML 1.0 Transitional (which you are using), so yes.

It isn't, however, in XHTML 1.0 Strict, so if you were using that instead of the Transitional DTD then the validator would have flagged it.

I'm not an expert on the internals of the validator, but from what I understand it wouldn't be trivial to implement such a warning.
