In general, hyperlinks in non-Kobo EPUBs are poorly implemented. I have noticed the problem you mention
here. In addition to that problem, here are some others that I have noticed:
1) there is no visual feedback to indicate that a hyperlink has been successfully activated. In a Kobo EPUB, if a hyperlink has been successfully activated the hyperlink will briefly be shown as white text against a black background (Kobo Styling Off) and the busy spinner is displayed in the upper left of the screen.
2) if a hyperlink is successfully activated, it will generally take you to the page just before the correct page.
3) in some books hyperlinks are not shown with an underline so it is impossible to distinguished them from the surrounding text. In several books that I have, I only became aware that they contained hyperlinks when I viewed them in ADE. At a minimum, hyperlinks should be shown in light gray as is the case in Kobo EPUBs with Kobo Styling Off and, preferably, they should be shown in light gray with an underline.
ETA: The three problems that I have noticed have all been pointed out to the Kobo developers but to date there is no indication that they are working on solutions or even any acknowledgment from them that they exist.
