A possible workaround, if you somehow want to keep the mangled font, would be to include the explicit ligature characters somewhere in the book (possibly where they are not visible), hopefully that will force InDesign to include the ligatures in the mangled font, but you'd need to check all available ligatures.
ADE 1.7 probably works fine because it doesn't try to render ligatures at all.

Yup, I believe that's spot-on, it would not be the first stupid bug in their epub export
I think the safest option is to replace the font, but I'll test your workaround out of curiosity when I get back to work Monday. Indesign CS 4 had a bug where it wouldn't include the font at all if it wasn't defined in a paragraph style, so we for instance included an empty paragraph styled with italic. This is probably a similar issue, although ADE 2.0 should've handled it gracefully.
