On the other hand the given example doesn't even require graphics as it is a simple text box.

That explains why you can see this text on your computer but not on Kobo. I too think that this should have been fixed long time ago.
All the graphics present in the book are missing, text boxes or otherwise. In fact, all the graphics, in every book that is available in Kobo's proprietary format are missing, because the format does not support graphics.

Everything looks fine when I load the ePub into my Kobo (after breaking the DRM and using Calibre to make it look fine on the Kobo, thanks to the ePub margin bug that requires consumers to break the DRM on things they purchased from the Kobo store so that they display correctly on the Kobo reader *wild applause*). This is strictly a problem with Kobo's proprietary format (protip: the problem is it sucks).
