Looks like this is a problem with the size/density of the QR code in question.
We run the camera at lower res to improve processing speed, but perhaps we
should also allow it to switch to a higher res mode if it can't detect a
barcode.

This is not a particularly easy fix, but I'll have a look and see what can be
done.
