Actually, it does for annotations. I haven't tested on other data yet. And it is kludgy and nonobvious how to do it.
Go to the contents/bookmarks/notes view of your book.
Go to notes.
Tap the share button.
Select edit.
Select all, or if you want to export specific notes, select them.
Tap the share button.
Choose email, and email the notes where you want them. You can pick yourself, but I can tell you that emailing them to Evernote works. You may be able to use the email trick with other software too.
I tried the same thing via the bookmarks view, but I haven't figured out a way to make it work to export bookmarks. There seems to be something wrong with bookmarks tho since you can't always get the ribbon marker to show on the exact page you want.
I haven't compared iBooks on Mac with the iOS version to check whether there is a similar method of getting annotations out. But I'm pretty used to some stuff working better on iOS than Mac and vice versa.
