Fast vs. Accurate Method for Page # Plug-In

Here's an odd one. On some of the books I buy from Amazon (that don't come with their own .apnx files), when I send the book (without DRM) to my K3 from Calibre using the fast parser method, all is good. For example, R.J. Ellory's "A Quiet Belief in Angels" comes out at 563 pages -- more than the 416 pages that Amazon's UK site lists -- but still usable as a reference point. If, however, I check the plug-in box to generate an apnx with a more accurate page count (albeit more slowly), when I open the book, no matter where (e.g. preface, chapter 1 or chapter 12), I'm always on page 1 of 2. Same result if I use the more recent stand-alone apnx generator plug-in.

This is not the case with all books -- just some. Most of the time the more accurate and slower method is exactly that. But I cannot figure out why, in some instances, I need to turn off that option to get a meaningful page count.
