Thanks for doing all that
I remember reaching a similar conclusion when I did some experiments a couple of years ago, but I didn't get any further than "something to do with word count".

How does Kobo determine wordcount, anyway? (
only joking)
Small aside ... when I was creating my text-to-speech plugin I included wordcount per chapter info (as calculated by calibre). Just for interest I selected one epub and compared these chapter wordcounts with those in my Kobo database for the same book. For most chapters they didn't compare at all well. For chapters such as "Part One", with only 2 words, they matched, but for anything with a few paragraphs they didn't. At the time, I didn't have it in me to investigate further ... maybe one day ... or, like you, I could just go and read a book. I'm told these eink gadgets can be used for reading as well as messing about
