It's telling you where there's a mistake in your xhtml code when you didn't write any xhtml code. Very frustrating for the user (and for those trying to help).
The ePub validation from ThreePress give very clear and useful messages. Maybe that can help you guys find the error.

Sigil also use pretty much the same validation. I found both those tools invaluable when I'm trying to get ePub right.
