However, in order to strip the DRM, I downloaded a fresh version from the Kobo site, and then stripped the DRM from that file. (Downloaded it using ADE and then moved the file from its stored folder.)
So I'm guessing either (a) transferring the file via wifi from site to Kobo somehow altered its formatting, (b) this is just some random, one off fault (possibly a corruption of the file on download), or (c) ADE does something to the file which alters the formatting somehow.
Anyway,. thanks for your input, guys.

Ah. That explains it. I beleive that Kobo sometimes fiddle with the ePubs they get from the publishers, and turn them into '
kepubs' for use on their own devices, sometimes with unfortunate results.
