I've been silently going through the experts' comments and hoping to get some 'hurrah' moment to get rid of the issue I have. You guys have given so much time to this thread and sharing so much knowledge that I'm truly overwhelmed and for that I deeply and heartily thank everybody.
Back to the topic at hand, @MicroDrie, the semi-solution (having readers print/export to PDF) that you are providing is not going to work because it just doesn't seem right to even suggest to the author of the book and all the readers. In this regard, @Hitch is right to turn down that suggestion.
A little bit of background, the author of the book is now a retired pediatrician who has written this book over the years putting every bit of advice he can for the parents of young babies. Each list indicates some kind of 'procedure to follow' in case of any health-related concerns, thus specialized list markers. It was a long process to get everything right for his liking and there were times that each involved got frustrated with each other. @Hitch would know what I'm talking about.
Anyway, we have only targeted 2 apps/readers (iBooks and Google Books) at the moment and if we get positive responses and sales, we'll approach other markets as well. As you all may know, iBooks has a very decent SDK and can handle everything you through at it so the ePub doesn't have any display issue there, but Google Books has only these 'weird empty alpha, beta-level list markers on the following page, but only with nested lists, other list items/markers displays fine'.
I know that if the ePub is browsed on other apps/readers it'll have issues (due to the different reader engine, etc.) but I'm not concerned about that at the moment, my only concern is to be able to resolve this GPB issue.
One more thing, @MicroDrie,

The question remains for rsuchwani how was the PDF created, and how did you see the errors in the EPUB?

I don't think that I fully get what you exactly want to know here. If you're talking about the PDF I've attached to my question, then it is just a collection of screenshots I've taken of the ePub on my Android phone indicating the issues I have. I have only created ePub from the start.
