Then another turn seems to clear the mess.
This has happened while reading epubs & while navigating other non-content areas such as initial setup where this problem was first noticed. It is more obvious when viewing text after non-text such as book cover image. The most obvious mess was encountered after checking my email (!) using the hidden web browser which is full of bugs (see other posts for more info).
Is this normal behavior for an e-ink device?
Also, when reading epubs the text becomes less crisp than the previous pages. The text appears legible but not crisp with tiny portions of the individual letters seeming to be "faded". I'm wondering if this is another form of the issue above.

Some "ghosting" is totally normal, but one page looking less or more crisp than previous, no.
What's different on your Nook Touch vs my Kindle 3 or someone else's Sony is the page refresh rate; it's less frequent on the new Nook. Not sure if that's part of the problem but if you can post two pictures here, will help us to troubleshoot the issue.
