Well...maybe, but what is it, exactly, that you're trying to do? I mean "printing" or exporting an FXL ePUB to PDF...that's not going to work spectacularly well, as you've seen. For that matter, neither will doing nearly anything else, because of those word-wrapping and sometimes, letter-wrapping spans.

What's the desired end result? There are myriad things that you can try to do, (all of them laborious) but the destination matters.

I will say, trying to do almost anything with a fixed-layout ePUB is...let's just say it's an uphill battle.
