I have come across this bug with 2.8.1 on my Kobo Glo. Can anyone replicate?

If I am reading a book and go to the home page when I go back to my book (or any other book for that matter) all I am presented with is the header of the book and a footer which says Loading Chapter "X" : "Chapter Title" - Page "Number" (substitute text in "" with actual chapter numer, title etc. from book) and no text. To get the text to display I have to tap on the Book Title at the top of the screen to bring up the "Search Kobo etc. options", then tap in a blank space on the screen and the text will appear.

When text does display occassionally only half the text of the top and bottom line on the page is displayed.

I am reading epubs that have been "kepub'ed" via the Kobo Touch Extended Plugin in Calibre.

Someone did find a real KePub. They even linked to it. I'll see if I can find it.
EDIT: Found it! The book they linked to is http://www.kobobooks.it/ebook/Favole...EnZWdMA5Ww&r=1 (unfortunately only visible in "select countries").
