I'm sure that I have. And I just opened a random book. It has internal files that look like "tmp_dfcef919bbc4d91200ea44c8b4530284_RJ5x1i.ch.fi xed.fc.tidied.stylehacked.xfixed_split_000.html". That is 97 characters. If you added in the typical Windows temporary directory, and the name of the book plus an internal directory. Hitting the maximum file path length would be possible. I'm pretty sure that would give the error the OP is seeing. (And yes, I can see that it is probably a Mac being used, o this shouldn't be an issue, but, it is an example of a cause.)
And maybe it wasn't an invalid file name. Maybe it triggered a bug. Or the combination of characters in the file name and temp path triggered something. Or, as I have already stated, it is actually a problem in parsing the contents of the file. The drivers code parses the error and doesn't show the exact source of the error.
And Jon, it could easily have been an error made by the OP. I know that you clean up your books. What if the OP made a change while doing that and this error was triggered? There wasn't anything in the OP's post that suggested piracy to me.
