How to detect the problem is to check the HTTP headers to see if the response is "normal". This part is easy. The hard part is working out what to do if the response isn't normal.
There is a lot of code between the GUI and where the book is downloaded.

Edit: I doubt this will happen very often, so it might be more risky to fix than not fix.

I agree that it won't happen often, but it can happen if someone manually deletes formats from the calibre library. It is worth some time to see if I can detect the error and then do something besides falling over dead, and do so with minimal risk to it functioning correctly in the normal case.
