@Doitsu is correct - epubcheck v4.2.6 gives an error (actually 2 errors) if a <blockquote> tag in an EPUB2 contains text, but no error, for the same markup, if it's in an EPUB3.
Calibre's Check Book utility doesn't show an error for either EPUB2 or EPUB3. To the best of my knowledge, calibre tries to pay more attention to flagging errors that may cause actual problems in actual ereader apps than whether the (over-fussy???) rules of epubcheck are strictly followed.
