Yeah, I could definitely see that as a pain point.

(But, yes, somewhere, and I'll pull it out of these crusty old brain cells somewhere, there WAS an ePUBcheck crash and burn...)

Could it be a specific store's complaints too? Like iBooks?
Just a few days ago I got a complaint that my EPUB covers were TOO LARGE! iBooks denied the book because the cover was >4 million pixels. (Weren't they the ones that initially pushed for much higher resolution covers when iPad came out???)
1800 x 2700 = 4,860,000
1600 x 2400 = 3,840,000
So while "1600px shortest side" is now recommended at almost all the stores, and iBooks was one of the first to push for that... that max pixels just doesn't leave much wiggleroom.
Side Note: I recently had my own brainfart with Color Links. I knew there was SOME reason why they were a bad idea, but had to dig in the ol' memory hole to refresh. (E-ink + Night Mode + Black-on-Black Text.)
