I've just tried an alignment from PROMALS3D in their Clustal W output format:
http://prodata.swmed.edu/promals3d/promals3d.php

I tried their default settings, a wrap of 50, and unwrapped long lines
- and with all of these the CVS Biopython Bio.AlignIO parser seems
fine.

However, as you point out, when using Bio.Clustalw there is a problem.
 The missing version number causes an error, which I regard as a bug
worth fixing.
