Nice question!
First: Hyphenation is not handle in the EPUB file, but in the EPUB reading software.
Second, the correct hyphenation is function of the language used, because the hyphenation rules change from a language to another.
So, do you specify the right language in the metadata window of W2E?
If your text is Italian, but you mark the text as German, the reading software will use German rules for hyphenation!

I forgot to mention that, after creating the epub, I usually go through Sigil with it and convert it with Calibre. There are various options to set "smart hyphenation" that I use. But what I notice is that, in epubs not produced with your tool, the result is sometimes more satisfying. So my conclusion is that it could be the OO template that is responsible.

Probably, Calibre just sets the right language…
About Sigil, the latest versions make deep changes in the code, and sometimes introduce errors. Please uncheck "clean source code" in the preferences to avoid damages.
Anyway, if you can send to me the two EPUB, the one as generated by W2E and the other reworked by Calibre I will check them for improvements…
Thanks
