Also, you will get a very similar problem if you use the TOC to navigate to a different chapter.
This is definitely a firmware bug. It happens with both sideloaded and purchased kepubs. From memory, it started with 2.8.1.
One possible workaround is to select a font other than "Document default". All the books I have seen this happen with had embedded fonts. By blocking the use of the embedded font, the page is displayed immediately. Others have reported that it occurs under other circumstances, so this isn't all that is happening.

Ooops, sorry about the photos!!! First post updated.
And oooops, sorry about repeating a very known issue!!! I swear that I looked for it but I didn't find anything. (As proved I'm not very good as private investigator... with your explanation I can clearly see it in the very first issue
in the second post of the Kobo bug thread). Again, my fault.
Although it can seem a bit foolish, I'm actually HAPPY knowing this is a common issue. Although there's an easy workaround to fix it, it's clearly a VERY serious bug as it can drive unaware users quite mad. It is so serious, (even more than pdf navigation broken in landscape mode), that I suppose Kobo will fix it soon...
OTOH and as a possible difference, both photos are taken from different books and
NEITHER of them have embedded fonts. Nevertheless I can confirm that
I'm using "Document default" font setting.
