Great example. For the project that I am working on, in order to get menus I used the YouTube 1080p promos. Those files also had the letterbox bars removed. My Sansung player played the videos, but stretched them vertically to fill the screen. So, while they violated the spec, the player played them. I did recode them and add back the bars. On the final disc, they won't be there, because hopefully the single item menu will be working.

While it isn't perfect, the idea of doing the USB thumbdrive test is to see if the file won't play period.
