I believe Drone once mentioned that he had acid sensitivity problems with 2,5-MeO-propenylbenzene... Better use an epoxide route for that one just to be safe.

Better yet, make a small test tube experiment by dissolving some in acid-containing solvent, analyse the results from a few runs at different temperatures and times, do a TLC and post your results.
