From what I have seen here, it won't surprise me to much if there is something about particular epubs that cause unusual battery drain. But, I can't see what it is and I suspect it is going to be in combination with something else.

I am mostly on the other side of the fence. Nothing I have seen/read so far has made me think that any correlation of battery drain to a particular book is anything more than coincidence. Any bug in the software related to the data in a book would have shown up in the examples you mention in your first paragraph - and it doesn't. In fact your example pretty much eliminates books as the cause.
Neither can I see see/imagine what mechanism might cause it. Books are data, and unless they are actively being processed, they just sit in memory having very little effect on battery drain. (should I add IMO YMMV etc etc
