Yeah, I don't think that's an issue.  The issue is more that the designers of 
those UA's/servers didn't take size into account, and thus always try the 
bigger size, and don't have an alternative mechanism when they get the 513. 
(and they don't remember the size restriction for other requests, so they keep 
doing it again and again and again...until they get blacklisted or throttled)
