I have deleted the file to remove them all, and also copied the file, did a factory reset and put the file back afterwards to restore the annotations.

So, I am wondering if something is preventing the updating of this file on your device. File system corruption could be it.
It looks like the annotation handling is undergoing a transition from being database based to being file based. If this is the case, then it's possible that the Kobo people haven't quite finished the transition in the code. The database is being written to wherever it was previously, the internal list may be being maintained in the previous manner, but the file may only be being written to in certain circumstances. Then the annotations are being loaded from the file and not the database.
