My missing paragraphs were always prior to an "ornamental break".
Using CTRL+F to find <hr class="ornamental-break"/> all through the book's CSS, and replacing it with nothing, fixed the issue!
It takes a few minutes to go through every book like this, and I'm hoping there's a way to do this for a whole library at once, but that's where I'm up to.
While that might have fixed it, removing the break is probably not a good idea. The break was there for a reason. It was probably indicating a scene break of some sort (such as the point of view, location or a jump in time). Removing them can cause some confusion. Just replacing the line with a simple "<hr/>" will work without loss of the context.
