From what I hear all these problems have to do with mostly UK banks. I had never a problem cashing German, French or other cheques in Greece. I did however had a lot of trouble (and a huge cost) from a UK drawn cheque.
In any case these days I am using Citibank for my international transactions and I usually pay nothing receive or send. Most UK sellers that travel all the time could just open an account in France or elsewhere and with their ATM cards or online account do all the transactions they need. In the case of Citibank you can access your Euro or US$ account from anywhere in the world there's a Citibank and deposit or withdraw as well regardless of the "home country" of the account.
All the best,
