Yes, and that is why I stopped doing ebook conversions. I still do them for myself and for friends who cannot afford to hire someone like you, but otherwise I'm done with this craziness, at least when it comes to images. Images in Kindle books are easy because they are particular to Amazon, but with all the ePub apps out there, and everyone programming differently, it's a nightmare.
I'm beginning to suspect that iBooks has an option to turn off publisher formatting, like many other ePub apps do, and that this may have been the culprit from the start. Do you know if it does? I Googled it but nothing came up.
I much prefer sticking to my day job, which is as a writer and editor. Language may evolve and change but at least different devices don't change the words (though give Apple time and I'm sure they'll do something there too).
(That said, there was some bizarre Christian app that would change "offensive" words in one's ebooks. You would get crazy stuff like "The witch gave birth to a litter of puppies" or "You anus, I hate you!")
