Well, at least it shows the html... I have hunted and hunted for this ghost "header" file, and it is definitely not in any of the themes (which none are active) and I can't find it!! Hopefully someone can help!!
Probably a bad plugin or a file in core has been changed. Disable third party plugins and copy over the original Elgg source and see if the problem goes away.
