Odd line breaks in tables

The best way I've found to format endnotes is to use a table. That's worked well previously, but in my latest effort, I've got a problem. Notes that are more than one line work just fine. But for some of the notes that are less than a full line, I'm seeing the last word wrap to the next line, even though it shouldn't. Thus, I get something like:

[12] Louis David, a famous French
Painter

[18] Lake
Maggiore.

There are two qualifiers to that: (1) It doesn't happen on every "short" note, and (2) I see it only on my Nook classic (firmware version 1.7.0). I don't see a problem reading it in Sigil, Calibre or Firefox.

I've attached a copy of the offending book, trimmed down to two chapters and the endnotes. Of the "short" notes, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 9 display correctly, but 12, 14, 17, 18, 20, 21, 26 and 30 don't. Notice that the ones that work are all grouped at the beginning, followed by those that fail.

I'd be inclined to write it off as a bug in the Nook, but the fact that only some fail, and the odd groupings makes me think that maybe there's something in the code that I'm overlooking.

Any ideas?
