The Sony reader app for android is not a widely used app. It could very well be that it is simply not rendering the epub correctly. Can you have your beta tester load up at least 3 of the popular android reader apps on his device? They are free and available through the Google Play store. Not sure what device he has, but almost all android phones/tablets have access to Google Play. I would suggest he load up at least Mantano, Aldiko and Cool Reader. If your epub reads correctly on those apps + ADE on your PC, then I would say the problem is with the Sony reader app.
What Graycyn said seems like good advice -- if it works in ADE, it should work in most of the android reading apps.
I believe the bluestacks application is for all android apps, not just games.

Didn't know that about Bluefire, I do know that it seems to do fine with my validated and ADE tested books in the Android version, but I don't have any iDevice to test on sadly.
I would agree that the Sony app is not that widely used and there is a good chance it is just rendering something a little differently and your book is fine. If, as Pat says, it works with Mantano and Aldiko, I think you are golden. It's worth seeing how the book does in Cool Reader, in case of any complex formatting that might break without perfect css rendering.
I encountered one issue with Aldiko, if you need some paragraphs to not indent, they must be assigned a class. Something like h3 + p {text-indent: 0;} did not work for me with Aldiko, though it was fine in ADE and Mantano.
