That is a know bug with 3.0.0 and 3.0.1. If you are reading epubs that are on the SD card, when the device to sleep and is woken, the page numbers in the margin are displayed. Closing the book and reopening it will fix this as well. The problem has been fixed in 3.1.x, but that hasn't been rolled out to the Touch.

So I went to "Settings>Sleep and Power", unchecked all the boxes under the show covers section. I put the reader to sleep, up popped the cover image with the info banner, despite having NONE of that checked. The cover is not full screen, so I went back in, checked "show cover> show cover full size". That caused it to revert back to blank cover image. Nothing I did could return that cover image with the info banner, I either got just the cover image and no info banner, the "sleep image" alone or just the blank cover with name, format and info banner.

I rebooted the Kobo (having to pull out the card and reinsert to make it wake up the card), went back to "Settings>Sleep and power" unchecked the cover options, then rechecked "show cover image". Put the reader to sleep, and up pops the cover - NOT full screen (but that's okay) AND the info banner (despite that not being checked). So I'm leaving it alone, I have no idea why it's working, but it does. For now. Toes crossed.
That is weird and not a problem I have heard of. I would be interested in seeing the contents of the "Kobo eReader.conf" to see if there is anything obvious. This is the file the options are stored in.
