Jumping to that ASIN showed a possible source of the problem: It's a UK-origin book.

My suspicion, which I can't prove but is consistent with another publisher's problems, is that their internal stylesheets accessed from their typesetting programs have hardcoded metric measurements that get converted to hardcoded "English" measurements for US editions (and ebooks "fulfilled to the US"), even though not visible, and then things go haywire at random deep in the decimal places...
