Interesting that you don't see the error running epubcheck 4.0.2 locally while the remote validation shows the error. I don't use the Calibre editor but the epubcheck plugin for Sigil uses the same Java jar file as the online checker and I would suspect the Calibre version does the same. It's possible the dc:type metadata in the epub is hooped so it is not running the correct profile.

One question that comes to mind is what is wrapped around those spans?

Could you try adding a <p> or <div> at the start and </p> or </div> at the end of the error lines to see what that does for the error message?
