Most likely not. And if it were, rsync should have corrected it no matter
what. (Actually, I do find an rsync download of 32 MB rather high, but that
might be just normal, can't check at the moment).

Not needed. Very likely your image is 99% correct, but rsync doesn't spot
where the problem is. The trick in these cases is to use a (much) larger, and
possibly "weird" --block-size, like 20000 instead of 8192, or even 123456. I
think (hope ;-) you'll then see a literal download of exactly one block, after
which the md5sum should be okay.
