The epub fails only on your Sony PRS-650? And only for some stories, while others still work? That suggests bad/unusual HTML in those particular stories.

My current solution has been to re-convert the files to epub. However, I'm not sure why this happens to some stories and not others?
I'm able to d/l these two and view them on my Nook fine. Running them through epubcheck shows only minor HTML errors, and those errors are still there after epub->epub convert. I don't have a Sony PRS-650 to test on, so that's the best I can do for testing. If you post an epub that has the problem here, that might help some.

Shouldn't be. A single URL is just a batch of one--the same code is used.

Are you sure it isn't all new downloads giving that error? Because that I could possibly explain.

A few versions back, I added some new CSS to help with a problem on Nook. It's possible that addition ("adobe-text-layout: optimizeSpeed;") is what's causing your problem. You could try putting the snippet below (removes "adobe-text-layout") in your personal.ini and see if that helps.

Code:
[epub]
## Allow customization of CSS.  Make sure to keep at least one space
## at the start of each line and to escape % to %%.  Also need
## background_color to be in the same section, if included in CSS.
## 'adobe-text-layout: optimizeSpeed;' prevents hyphenation on newer Nooks
output_css: 
 body { background-color: #%(background_color)s;
        text-align: justify;
        margin: 2%%; }
 pre { font-size: x-small; }
 sml { font-size: small; }
 h1 { text-align: center; }
 h2 { text-align: center; }
 h3 { text-align: center; }
 h4 { text-align: center; }
 h5 { text-align: center; }
 h6 { text-align: center; }
 .CI {
     text-align:center;
     margin-top:0px;
     margin-bottom:0px;
     padding:0px;
     }
 .center   {text-align: center;}
 .cover    {text-align: center;}
 .full     {width: 100%%; }
 .quarter  {width: 25%%; }
 .smcap    {font-variant: small-caps;}
 .u        {text-decoration: underline;}
 .bold     {font-weight: bold;}
Another possibility is that sometimes different skins can cause problems. If you've reskinned AO3 try switching back to the default skin.
