My guess is that they handed a file off to be converted way back when, but the file hadn't been fully proofed, or was originally converted with errors, and they've just been reconverting that same file to new formats. Not surprising if they're using some company to do the conversions for them.
For instance, I've heard rumors that
Rosetta Books might not have the best QC.
I hadn't looked at it before, but this little snippet from their
about us page might shed some light on what's going on with e-books...

Offhand, I see a number of books that are in Connect in Rosetta's listings (which means Sony has to negotiate with them, according to the above quote), this may shed some light on a
lot of things, now that I think about it.
