I agree with the user notification. I was thinking (hoping) that the the menu entries could be changed dynamically, but I can see where that might not be enough. Adding a pop-up when the maps are selected would run into the same issues that drove me to create the new extension, but maybe there is another way/time to inform the user of the change. What about something on the status bar?
I don't think that would be visible enough. Just throwing out another idea: What about drawing warning text on the map? It could even be something that has a timeout and disappears after 5 or 10 seconds. Would pop up each time one of the non-standard zoom levels was attempted perhaps, via zoom-box or other. Another possibility would be to add warning text in the Map Chooser next to those selections. Just append text to every OSM file when writing the lines into the Map Chooser. Might have to chop those off again when checking what was selected...
