Tim and I made these design decisions based on advice from Jeff.  You 
can read the thread here:

However, at the time I have never seen disk images that did not have 
modulo 256 lengths.  All disk images I had access to were created via 
RETRIEVE.EXE and were thus "fully formed."  I was not aware at the time 
that Jeff's emulator tolerated non-modulo 256 byte lengths, but since 
such images seem to violate Jeff's own advice, what is one to do?
