That is not surprising. The files you replaced contain a cache the annotations, but the master copy is still on Amazon's server. There is no way to force those cached annotations to be sent to the server. Only newly generated annotations are sent back to Amazon.

That is also to be expected. Annotations locate the precise point in the book using a "position" number that is based on the exact HTML content of the file produced by kindlegen. The e-book source file recovered via kindleunpack will not match the original source file exactly, leading to this sort of minor discrepancy.
