docx->epub weirdness, but only for Apple readers

Hi,

I'm using Calibre 7.16.0 to convert my docx manuscripts to epub. The resulting epub works wonderfully in calibre, Kindle, and Adobe Digital Editions, but the spacing keeps changing in Apple's epub reader. I *think* I've attached everything, but just in case there's screenshots at:

A docx that reproduces the problem:

A conversion of this sample:
https://cdn.mwl.io/junk/apple/ryoms-appledebug.epub

The conversion log:

Is there some Apple-specific setting I should be using? Something in my docx style sheet that Apple's choking on?

Realistically: as conversion problems go, it's not horrid. It's definitely readable, just annoying for my readers. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
