Moon stores two things in dropbox, one is the current chapter count, 2 is some offset from start of that current chapter.. i know about chapters because if I edit a book - e.g. remove one foreward or epigraph section, then send that to another device and sync, the sync is off by one chapter.
I always bookmark at a chapter start so the other issue does not affect me.
i have not checked the page offset thing but if you are right then changing font size on the same device and reloading bookmarks should cause them to point wrongly - a simple test. NB moon loads only the current chapter to RAM and in fact it splits extra large chapters with a 1/2 mark which loads the next section when tapped. ( that is at about 70 pages on my tablet).
PS having rechecked the dropbox section of preferences , there is a simple tick / untick for whether a copy of the book is sent to cloud. I leave it unticked, my books are already in the cloud, in a calibre library backup
