Were these occurring towards the the end of paragraphs only? Or were the just spread out willy nilly with no rhyme or reason?
A few months back in my LaTeX research, I stumbled upon this odd question about the "minimum length of the last line of a paragraph":

There was also a similar idea for poetry for not wanting a single word on a line by itself, and trying to keep two or three words together if the line split:
Code:
<p>This is just a sample sentence that ends too soon.</p>
So that if the line does break, "too soon" would be pulled to the next line. (To some typographers that might look more pleasing than lines that are too short).
Certain languages/countries/style guides might have certain odd typographic rules as well. I stumbled upon this too:

One rule in French typography is that the last line of a paragraph should not be shorter than the double of the indentation of the next paragraph.

Could also just be some leftover typographic crud from InDesign/Quark output as well. The good ol' "we can just export this as EPUB because it has a 'Save As EPUB'!"
Does any metadata give any hints about the creation program? Anything you can deduce from the CSS/class names?
We need some examples and DETAILS!
