No, it is a bug that will be fixed in a future version.

Yes, unfortunately this sometimes happens.  The cause is a bit complicated
and related to an incorrect Apple Event being sent internally.  Eventually
this will be fixed.

Yes, they have to be smaller than 4096 pixels.  There used to be an error
message if this was detected before rendering before.  As that code was
replaced, the error message seems to have been lost :-(
