Even if the microspheres were perfect, the thing that sends the signals for the spheres to "change color" can be broken too.

So I cannot think a single reason that forever guarantees a perfect e-ink display with no local troubles in it.
Not to mention that I have actually seen stuck pixels, both black and white, and it was a screen with no light, so light issues are out of question. To be honest, it was not strictly an e-ink screen, it was Sipix; but the principle is the same.
