Looking at the example posted in this thread the single letter case is being treated as a drop cap, but the m-dash plus letter is not being treated as a drop cap because different styling is being applied to the punctuation.
I don't think that there is any good work around for this.

Many thanks for the info jhowell. So you are telling me that if the two first letter have the same size, there wouldn't be any issue in .kfx. Hmmm, maybe I can find a way to cheat the .kfx generator (until Amazon realizes that it can have a first letter lower than the drop cap).
