Yeah, there are "global" services which are actually secretly us-east-1 services as that is the region they use for internal data storage and orchestration. I can't launch instances with OpsWorks (not a very widely used service, I'd imagine) even if those instances are in stacks outside of us-east-1. I suspect Route53 and CloudFront will also have issues.
