While large or redundant image files is annoying, it won't actually break rendering or functionality on anything but the most fragile viewers. That is, unless you're talking about completely ridiculous resolutions like 10000xsomething, but I haven't actually seen that in an epub yet. In addition some distributors demand a relatively large cover file embedded in the ebook itself, making it impossible for creators to use more sensible sizes.
