It all depends on the parser and the XHTML DTD. I've never run into an ePub parser that couldn't handle them (assuming proper declarations), but I suppose it's possible. Perhaps someone is confusing xhtml1.1 and ePub2 with xhtml5 and ePub3? Named entites are no longer technically valid in that situation.
