Mainly I'm curious as to how justified ePUBs would cause eye strain.

It doesn't cause me eye strain per se, but I find that fully justified text on such a low resolution display as the Sony's is unattractive.
The reason for this is since the pixel count of the display is low, small text doesn't look good to me so I'm forced to use larger text. With the larger text, there are fewer words per line so there is less opportunity for justification algorithms to adjust spacing in an attractive way.
Also, it looks to me like the Sony LRF renderer either doesn't adjust inter-letter/intra-word at all or has very tight constraints when doing so, making it even more difficult to space the words attractively.
