This is strange, I have just tested following lines:

surface
   bitmap map.png [1335 816 400419.2 5421275.2 1781 257 401357.1 
5420034.05]
endsurface

and there was no complain. It worked without problems. What version of 
therion and OS do you use?

This may happen - it is already in TODO to generate some more user 
friendly warnings.

Therion by default generate map in 1:200 scale (for caves), which is in 
your case (map at 20x30km a PDF with dimensions 100x150 m. Try using

-layout-scale 1 20000

or some even smaller scale.
