That's because Canti can only handle interpreting numbers in the filename suffix. It starts from the end of the filename and reads backwards (not including the extension, of course), starting with nothing and building up as it reads. However, as soon as it sees a non-numeral character it stops. That's why "25a" -> "" and "25b" -> "" (i.e. both empty strings, and since they match they output to the same folder, which can cause some files to be overwritten).

You have two choices to deal with this situation:
1) Rename the suffix to something Canti can understand (for example, "25a.zip" -> "25.1.zip" and "25b.zip" -> "25.2.zip".
2) Enable use_original_filenames, and Canti won't try to automatically determine the suffix. Unfortunately this also means you don't get the output files to look all nicely named like [title]_-_[manga_prefix][suffix].[extension].
