I can confirm the same if I reduce Firefox's language settings to French
[fr] only. However, I'm not sure it's actually a bug:
1. If English [en] is in my browser's list of languages (but not
necessarily 1st preference) I do get the front page.
2. The link on the 406 page will take you to the English xiph frontpage.
Effectively you're asking it for a page in Japanese and it's telling you
it doesn't have one. You don't have English in as a fall-back option,
so you get an error (it can't find an acceptable language); it tells you
this and offers a link to where the content can be found, but not in
one of the languages you've specified.
