I did see that in the kobo epub-spec hosted on github.
It is my understanding that there are kobo devices that run Android. Obviously expecting to run video on eInk devices would be folly, but so would be to require eInk device users to download and host a 80MB KePub on their relatively low-spec'ed machines, just because *some* devices are capable of video playback.
Hence the decision to host the video files remotely, which now feels like an impossibility, due to what appears to be a random rakuten testing bug.
Thanks for all the suggestions so far. It's hard to believe that no one has run into this. Hopefully someone will yet come forward. I have asked kobo (or well, rakuten, with whom our retailer works) about this issue as well, and will report back once they have responded in a constructive way.
