Right, your bold footer is caused by the problem that spawned this entire thread. The italic 'of' is being displayed as BoltItalic instead of just Italic. Removing the BoldItalic variant fixes this problem. It does not resort to fake italic (slanted text), but instead picks the correct Italic font.. The same as your alternate file name version does.
The real question becomes, if I rename BoldItalic to -z, will it actually use the font in the case of real Bold Italic, for both Epubs and kepubs? It's a little awkward to test, since Bold Italic doesn't really look much different (if at all different) from just a .. umm, bolder italic. (that is to say, with a proper Italics file, the Kobo can fake a authentic looking Bold Italic.)
Maybe I just should investigate fixing the real root cause of the problem in the first place
