Comment(by zirneklitis):

 Let's skip or correct this line 37. I have added the new version of the
 problematic file.

 The problem is not in TAB as a delimiter, but with an extra TAB at the end
 of lines. Just remove these extra TAB symbols and the file is readable for
 QGIS.

 In short: Delimited Text Layer plug-in is not capable to read TAB
 delimited text files with extra TAB symbols at the end of lines.

 It's quite easy to generate such incorrectly formatted  text files.
 Delimited Text Layer plug-in must be more forgiven for such mistakes.
