I agree that these are probably coming from poor HTML. Which is a surprise--ffnet's draconian input rules usually prevent that.
In all four cases it's the code searching for images in the chapter text that's failing.
I'll look at that more to see what could be done to prevent it failing, but in the mean time you can work around it by adding this to your personal.ini:
Code:
[fanfiction.net:epub]
include_images: false
Ffnet stories don't have in-line images (so no loss there), but they can have cover images. The downside of this workaround is that it will prevent using the story cover image if there is one.
