By design, a mediaobject is not allowed as the direct child of book.
You can put it in the book's info element, if you intend for it to
appear on the cover or something. Or you can put it inside (most) of
the elements that can appear as children of book: dedication, preface,
article, chapter, appendix, refentry, etc.

This isn't new in 5.0, the same is true in 4.x.
