I am experiencing a bug with FFF version 2.2.17, using calibre 2.48, shown below. Note that the example and explanation is a bit long-winded, sorry. I couldn't figure out how to effectively reduce the example.
[Edit:]: I re-downloaded the whole fic using most recent calibre (2.50.1), and problem still persists.[/Edit]
Here is a section from the fic
The Scaly Raptor, from spacebattles. Note that I'm not using a quote box, due to formatting.
The scream woke the four recovering raptors downstairs, though only Blue could move as the other three were too injured to do so and laid in their "nests", frightened for their Alpha. Nonetheless, the raptor beta rushed up the stairs until she reached the room claimed by her Alpha and looked in to see a large, male raptor staring at something. Growling, Blue strode in as she guessed what had happened. "<Get away from Alpha, now...>"
Much to her surprise, the raptor turned and stared at her before it spoke in Owen's voice. "B-Blue? Did you just talk?"
Confused, Blue walked more into the room and tilted her head. "<Why do you sound like Alpha and make not-prey sounds?>"
The raptor then tapped himself on the chest. "Blue, it's me! I... I have no idea what happened, but I got turned into a raptor..."
Here is the same section, but from the epub copy I got using FFF.

The italics persists throughout the rest of the chapter, before ceasing at the beginning of the next chapter. The number of '<' signs at the end of each line increases every time a '<' appears in the chapter. The '<' count also resets at the end of each chapter.
How might this problem be fixed?
