In your case those errors probably mean there's a hotlink protection script (or plugin) blocking BLCs attempts to check those images.
No idea why it doesn't block W3C's checker, though.

An option to turn these off, or at least an explanation what "403 Forbidden" means would be good.
My site has 111 of these (uploaded images) but these '403 Forbidden' links are most definitely not broken. The W3C link checker does not show these, so why does this plugin?
