It likely has something to do with right-to-left image layouts, but not sure.

The plugin is working as intended.
The issue has to do with books that use a fixed-layout, such as comics, manga, and print replica.
Calibre's conversion system is designed for books that use reflowable layout. Using it on a fixed-layout book can mess with the book's formatting. For those books it is better to use either "From KFX" or the KFX Input CLI for conversion since those avoid the calibre conversion pipeline. If you decide to ignore this advice you can select the KFX Input conversion option to "Allow conversion to complete even if errors are detected".
For image based books such as comics/manga conversion to CBZ or PDF is generally superior to EPUB as an output format since those are well supported by many reading apps. An EPUB produced from a Kindle comic/manga will contain a lot of proprietary Amazon-specific formatting internally and may not render properly in a non-Amazon reading app.
