In your present case it is probably better to ask the tester to compare his opinions against the regulations and the picture VOSA previously issued regarding the correct requirements
Thanks

This is 2nd hand information,
I think the sticker is not a sticker on top of the plate, it is inside the plate on the background, between the 2 rows and must be very small.

I am not convinced without looking on computerisation that the tester is right on this occasion, I don't think that the requirements for a motorcycle number plate would be any different than a normal car, except two rows as you point out.
Before September 01st 2001 I can't see any requirements in the RFR's to justify a fail, unless the bike reg's are substancially different, however refering to international symbols and flags, these must be apart of the plate when manufactured, ie not stick on, as you point out, and seem to be applied only to vehicles registered on or after September 01st 2001, unless I am reading the info incorrectly?
Ask the tester to read the current bike manual on computerisation?

I'm asking for someone else, what about the ceasefire that was called by VOSA, telling all testers to stop failing numberplates?
Bike was bought 2 years ago with an MOT, and have since MOT'd it at the same garage and it passed (the number plate also).
This year he says that as it has a 'sticker' in-between the 2 rows, it is illegal and a failure item.
It was registered before 01 September 2001
The plate does have the name of the firm who sold the bike from new, with its phone number. The 'sticker' is part of the plate under the laminate, not on top.
Do the measurements on the various MOT sites refer to minimum gaps as the regulation for row spacing is 19mm, I took this to mean they couldn't be closer than this.
