I have come across the same problem, I think it is a bug in the Calibre ebook-viewer and so I've submitted a bug report.

This problem only seems to occur when all of these conditions exist:

* The "Text layout in paged mode --> Override the page margin settings specified in the book" option is un-ticked in the ebook-viewer preferences.

* The publisher hasn't specified a @page margin style in the book's stylesheet.

Edit:
* The publisher has used a percentage value for the body margin in the book's stylesheet.

Easiest work-around is probably just to tick the "Override the page margin settings specified in the book" option.

(Edit: The problem I experienced has been fixed in Calibre 2.64, not sure if it is quite the same problem the OP had though.)
