Not including the copyright information for the MIT-licensed code is a violation of the license.

depends on what is a 'substantial portion' of the software. i think that definition is not very clear.
No, it's not clear, and I guess that's up to the courts to decide.

But in my (non-lawyer) opinion - if the reproduced code is substantial/unique enough to be deemed to be covered by the license, then it's also substantial/unique enough to be subject to that license requirement.
