That's definitely it. I didn't know you could track the ortho viewport cameras! I always use zoom/pan because my comps are rarely that big. Also good to know the Particular limits too - I thought that had been improved. Thanks Chris,

Yes, the problem is that when you zoom out all the way, the hand function stops working.  So if your composition occupies a large space and your instinct is to zoom out and use the hand to navigate around, then once you get to the maximum zoom out (1.5%?) you can't.

FWIW, I try to keep compositions less than about 30000 pixels in any dimension, because the trapcode plugins are limited to that size.  Otherwise if you're trying to add fog, or particles or other visual elements that use trap code plugins you'll have problems.
