Saw another recent lrf problem reported here, with the suggestion to use ePub output instead.
Do you get the same problem if you convert the lit to epub? If so, then perhaps the problem is not specific to LRF and can be addressed as an epub change?

However, I have noticed a lot of variability in how lit/lrfs specify formatting--sometimes they use styles, sometimes it is inline with the tag etc. This makes fully automating the conversion rather difficult, as there are so many different potential cases to handle. Although I have some programs I have written to automate some of the reformatting for LRFs, I still normally have to manually edit the output to get it how I like it.

A typical example: some books apply a different style to the first paragraph of a chapter, which when it is converted to LRF results in a blank line between it and the following paragraph. A lot of other books don't do this. At the moment I treat this as a special case that requires a manual edit. The problem you describe seems similar.
