You've both raised thought provoking points, I'll get back to you when I've looked into them, they may provide the answer.
I would add that everything in the book with the wonky TOC is otherwise fine, it passed all the SW tests. The TOC was created with bookmarks and then hyperlinks within the doc, so meatgrinder takes over then. All the TOC links work, just some don't look right. It's not a problem with ADE as the TOC looks wrong in Sumatra. (Sumatra is a pdf reader but it loads epubs too). The TOC looks perfect in the pdf format.
The TOC is centred, and the style for each link is 'first line indent'. I've a feeling that's wrong, but then why are some links short of some text, but not others? Anyway, I'll now have a think about your advice, and see what I can work out.
And THAT is your problem, right there, unless I miss my guess. You should NOT have a style of "first line indent" for content that is CENTERED. Do you understand? Why that is a conflict? Centering is one type of alignment; first-line indent is a different, conflicting style.

Change the link style. Now, having said all that: I could be wrong. I'm doing this blind, but I've seen this sort of error--not this precise error--before, and it's very common for people to make alignment screwups, by using a first-line indent when they mean to center images, etc.

I hope this helps.
