I don't know - I can envisage what I see as solutions as perfect as they can get. The solution could be implemented in two different ways.
One is, if you try to change the line-height in a book where the book currently would silently override your choice, you get a little popup: "Do you really want to override publisher-specified line-height within this book? Y/N", possibly with a "Learn more" link to see what sort of problems it can cause. This should pop up once per book only. (It may need to come with a "Stop overriding publisher line-height" option once chosen.)
Alternatively, an Advanced Settings area in Settings where the user could pick and choose which publisher settings to override and which to leave in place.
