Odds are it has something to do with Pages - when Pages' ePub support came out it was reviewed by several forum Members and deemed to do some pretty awful things with it's ePub conversions. Knowing Apple it's unlikely that it's improved any.

You might want to try going from Pages to Open Office (or MS Word) and see if either the HTML export or Open Offices' ePub export plugin works better. Calibre also supports the native OpenOffice format.

You also neglected to answer Dwig's question regarding what your original source document is, you just mention using Pages to convert from 'something'... The original source may also be important.
