Google makes (used to make? I guess I haven't checked lately) changes to the underlying epub code that occasionally break the formatting, so they're sort of a last resort for me.
From the few I've de-DRMed and checked (this is a couple of years ago), they put in markup that appears to have something to do with syncing reading position between 'Flowing Text' ('ePub') and 'Original Pages' ('PDF') modes (at least when book offers this option). There may be other things they put in for the Maps lookup feature, or other things. I have not had issues converting ePub to mobi despite this. It might mess things up for ePub applications, but I haven't checked that. With the right tooling it is probably pretty easy to identify and remove the 'extra' markup.
