Note preview disabled?

I've noticed that in some books containing annotation -- e.g. the Penguin edition of Tristram Shandy that I just bought -- the note preview doesn't work. Tapping a note always takes me to the notes page. It doesn't matter whether I download the book from the Kobo shop (as I've done) or sideload it via Calibre: both versions display this behaviour.

Have the publishers done something (either consciously or inadvertently) to disable the preview function in the notes?
I'm a little disappointed, because the preview makes it easier to quickly gauge whether the note (and Tristram Shandy is riddled with it!) contains information I actually want to interrupt my reading for or just some historical minutiae that I don't want to bother with for the moment.

(I guess that's one way in which the paper edition of this book will be superiour to the digital version. Not to mention the various typographical hijinks, of course. :-)
