Double size sounds really weird. 'qemu-img create' uses the size in
bytes for it. Is that wrong?

Hm, any idea where the -EPERM (-1) comes from? Maybe wrong total_sectors
number you're calculating?

If footer->size is the double byte count, then it would be:;

+    if (footer->size / 2 > (uint64_t) 65536 * 16 * 255 * 512) {
+        bs->total_sectors = 512 * footer->size / 2;

Your calculation would assume that footer->size uses units of 256 bytes,
which appears rather unlikely.
