Space being lost before italicised words

I've just sideloaded a book to my Libra H2O with Calibre. I use the KoboTouchExtended plugin and send books as kepubs. When I read the book on the Kobo, all the italicised words have no space between them and the preceding non-italicised word. When I load the epub into Sigil and check, there are spaces before all the italics, and the Sigil preview screen renders the spaces correctly, as does the Calibre ebook viewer.

Any suggestions on a fix? I've tried several different fonts (Rakuten Serif, Georgia, Amasis) and the problem is there with all of them.

Calibre is v7.23, KoboTouchExtended v3.7.2, Kobo FW v4.38.23171, all I think the latest available.
