The issue is on the device. The synopsis doesn't handle carriage returns in the way that most HTML parsers do. They are usually ignored or replaced with a space. And anything between tags will be ignored. And because of the way that the control used when editing the comments in calibre formats the comment, there are carriage returns after the leading div tag. Which the control probably added. I assume the metadata editor in Sigil doesn't put any extra carriage returns or tags in. This overall problem was discussed a while ago, but, I didn't notice it affected the start of the synopsis.
Until Kobo changes this (and I recommend you report it) the workaround is to use a metadata plugboard for the comments. Simply use the template "{comment}". When this plugboard is processed, any extra whitespace is removed.

I don't have the skills to exactly understand the technical details you're talking about, but I'm happy to say, that you are right!
I've been thinking about that problem for quite a long time, checked my settings over and over again...
Waking up today, reading your posting and only a few seconds later about 3000 ebooks on my Kobo-device are corrected!
THAT'S JUST MAGIC!!!
Thanks to David and many others out there who provide us with fantastic software and tipps. We appreciate your work very much!
Have a nice day!
