Your ToC in the ToC in iBooks?

What the heck is the deal with getting your table of contents to show up in the table of contents in iBooks? Like, in my book I have the "front matter," which consists of the title page and illustration, followed by a nicely formatted table of contents (which is much, much nicer to browse through than the device's built-in one), and this is followed by a similarly-formatted list of illustrations, and then the rest (and bulk) of the book.

All of the items that make up that "front matter" I've specified to be listed in the device's table of contents, but no matter what I try, I can't seem to get my table of contents to be listed in the iBooks' table of contents -- it shows the "Title Page & Illustration," and then comes "List of Illustrations." I even tried giving my own ToC a weird ID (like "whatever" or something), but I guess iBooks nevertheless knows that it's a table of contents and just doesn't want it listed in the table of contents -- if ya know what I mean.

Anybody else noticed this? And anybody know a way to "fix" it?

(PS. This isn't an issue in ADE -- my ToC shows up just fine in the ToC in there, so it's not an error in my coding or something.)
