Doing some trial and error testing I found that eliminating the "first-line" selector from your stylesheet prevents the problem. It seems to trigger the bug somehow, even though it isn't being used on the problem content. Very strange.

Of course, I have no idea whether Amazon’s own conversion routines have the same bug, so…
BTW, how were you able to examine the KFX file?

Thanks; I never noticed that. I’d tested the earlier version of the book (the released version, without the custom fonts) and the first-line selector worked fine on my Kindle Fire HD—but I guess that’s using Webkit under the hood?
Time to talk to the customer about trade-offs. Shame; I was hoping this would be an easy addition, and make the e-books look just that little bit more like the print versions.
