Hi Ewan, When a request is too large you should receive error code 40, "The scheduled report job is too large to generate." http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/docs/developer/adwords_api_error_codes.html#e40. The validateReportJob method should return an error when the report job isn't valid, and we always recommend using this method before scheduling the report.
Let me know if you have any other questions, of if you find any other clues to the origin of this issue.
