From my (probably rusty) understanding of Accept this actually says ….

I would prefer text/turtle, or application/turtle. If you can't do that then I'll take text/plain(0.9), failing that send me application/rdf+xml(0.8) and if you still can't do that I'll take whatever you've got.  In our case whilst we don't have a turtle serialisation of the RDF and your client expressed a preference for text.

Having said all of that, I am fixing accept handling at present so will ensure it is doing the right thing, but I expect even with the correction to the qval it may still not work right now.
