The only way I worked out what the real problem was was by Googling the error message and finding comments that told you.
Also found this discussion on GitHub

Right, "XML name without colons" comes from the value of the id attribute being required to match the NCName production as required in the Namespaces in XML 1.0 spec.
This error message comes from Jing (the 3d party RelaxNG + Schematron validation engine used by EpubCheck) and as far as I remember we cannot easily override it to make it more user friendly.
See also #193, #224, #307, #533.
I'm closing as wontfix, since we do not have control over the message.

So we will continue to get this confusing and misleading error message indefinitely. Despite it not actually causing any problems except with epubcheck.

As above, this has been reported there at least 5 times already, but it's a "wontfix".
