I've already opened a ticket for this, but I'm hoping that someone can tell me I've simply done something stupid. Anyway...

Start with a DRM-free eReader file (it'll be a .pdb) that includes one or more footnotes.
Import the book into Calibre.
Convert to ePub
Send the ePub to your Sony Reader
Observe that clicking on a footnote link takes you to the beginning of the book, not to the footnote.
Unzip the ePub, and see that the footnote references don't refer to the same links as the anchors that are defined in the footnotes themselves.

Or maybe I made an obvious mistake in the above. I've opened ticket 3806 and have attached a sample pdb file as a source to provoke the bug.
