That's pretty much what I figured, too (re the "hijacking" thing), although it's beyond me why they would program iBooks to intentionally look out for a table of contents and then
not include it in the list of items for the external ToC -- especially if it's listed along with all the other front matter.
I guess I was hoping that this might have come up before (which it may have, from what you said) and that there was some sort of way to trick iBooks into passing it through and listing it -- but I starting to assume that there isn't. It does leave me wondering if perhaps I should just mark the ToC and List of Illustrations as "hidden", and then just have the Title Page get listed as "Front Matter" (collectively).
Or, hey, actually, now that I just wrote that, it just occurred to me that I suppose I could also just "hide" the List of Illustrations, and then mark the various items like this...
- "Front Matter" (for the title page and illustration)
- "Table of Contents & List of Illustrations" (for both of those, with the <h1> tag for the latter hidden)
Then, in ADE it'll show both items in the external ToC, but in iBooks it'll just show "Front Matter."
I think I just solved my problem, as I was writing this reply -- that is, solved iBooks problem.
