This sort of thing--post-production edits--happens ALL the time. ALL. 98%+ of our clients make edits/tweaks, once they see their books in a new format, e.g., PDF or ePUB/MOBI. More than half only make a handful--1-5 edits, minor things. Not a big deal. But the last year or so, we are getting an increasing number like this--hundreds of edits per book. Hundreds. (We had a client that filled up over 2,000 edits on our proof forms. TWO THOUSAND.) Unfurtunately, a lot of these--like this 117--aren't just after the book is produced, but AFTER it's published, as well.

Not our doing, you understand? Theirs.

Mind blown. Now I can understand maybe 1 or 2 errors getting past everyone but hundreds.
I don't recall seeing proofreading as one of your services.
