Wait...I've seen this. It has to do with older epubs, made prior to the Nook RMSDK update. What the heck...trying to remember; it had to do with attempting to put a spanned header inside a speed-optimization setting, to force Nook to NOT hyphenate a header...or it was because the header used spaces between the letters (to create a kerned appearance), and it broke between every letter, again because of the SDK and the hyphenation issue. I don't remember it precisely (sorry), but I'll ask around my Crew and see if they can recall it. We had a similar issue on a recent book, in which the client desperately wanted a small-cap header style PLUS a larger cap (like a 1.1 em setting) for the first letter (like a Raised Initial) and we went through hell with it; eventually decided it couldn't be done on Nook without the hyphenation issue raising its ugly head.
HOWEVER, in the course of the experiments on that book, I did see a header or two come out all flush-left (I mean, all the letters in the header were flush left, aligned vertically, not horizontally)...so I suspect that this is either a) an older epub or b) somebody tried to get cute with the layout, maybe an ID export, and didn't test it on the actual device, because the files we tested looked fine on both ADE and "Nook for PC;" it was only on the actual device that they looked utter crap (natch).
Don't know if that helps, but the poor schmuck who did that book might not have a CLUE that it looks bollocks on the device, FWIW.
HTH,
