It's absolutely the publisher's responsibility. Regardless if that publisher is also the author or a completely separate entity/individual in New York or the very next room.
But I would also think a wise author should at least take a gander at every single edition of those products that his/her name is being slapped on (be it print, epub or mobi), and bring appropriate pressure to bear if something is wrong. I think too many authors are just assuming that the ebooks will be done "right." Assuming of course, that the author is still above ground.
