The problem I was thinking of happened with kepubs that used embedded fonts. For these, opening the book would show a blank page with the header and footer. Opening and closing the menu would trigger a screen refresh and the text would display. But, it was happened a lot more recently than 1.9.13.

The epub format hasn't changed, unless this is an epub3. The way Kobo builds kepubs has, but they have been good about backwards compatibility.

Secondly, given that the original FW is probably much smaller than the newer versions, could the fact that my Touch works with an earlier FW still mean that the micro SD is having problems?
Do you mean it might have been using a part of the card that was failing but now it isn't? If so, maybe. I wouldn't have expected it, but, if you have a spare card lying around and are willing to open the device, it is worth the try. You can use a larger card with no problems.
