Then I'll know if Calibre and Sigil are doing the right thing and if that snippet is something needed.I'll get back to you.

IMHO flightcrew is fussier than epubcheck.
Both of these tools will pass pure garbage content as long as you wrap them in the proper tag
epubcheck has Known issues (incorrectly flags things as errors and ignores others).

If these companies don't know that by now and accept your book after reviewing the mis-identified errors or getting a second opinion via Flightcrew, then finding another Publisher should be at the top of your list

As for certain devices failing to read your output. That may be a Device problem., not yours
