As Xavier indicated in his PS, it almost certainly means that something 
is going wrong, though I cannot tell you what it is.

If you see no difference in epsilon between 2k and 3k k-points, I would 
say that means the mesh is converged for optics.  Even if you want to be 
very careful in your convergence test, keep in mind that all other 
optical quantities are calculated directly from epsilon.  The only other 
thing you could check is convergence in the energy range you calculate 
Im(eps) in, because the Kramers-Kronig needs it (in principle) from 0 to 
infinity.

In the full Brillouin zone.
