I think it's a combination of the internal file names, adding the cover and sending as a kepub. I think the NCX file gets rewritten along the way and the "bad" characters are escaped. With the way Kobo stores and uses the ToC in the database, and the reading position, I think there is a conflict between where characters have been escaped and where they haven't been.

But, I'm having problems reproducing it. I had if failed as described once, fiddled and fixed. But, I cannot revert and have it break. But, I am sure that cleaning/simplifying the internal file names will fix it.
