This has nothing to do with the Writer2Epub. A couple of versions ago, KevinH added a missing doctype check, because HTML files without doctypes are technically invalid, even though EPUBCheck won't report this as an error.
I.e., you'll get the same error message for any number of books created by totally different apps.
