In short, your source ePub file is not in a strictly well-formed format.

Amazon's Send to Kindle service supports EPUB files; however, for historical reasons, it still assumes ISO-8859-1 encoding if no encoding is specified, while most "assume" as UTF-8 and continue. This creates malformed formatting errors for special characters, especially "smart" punctuation.
