This is why it's so difficult to write CSS fixer-upper plugins that cater to everyone. Risk vs. reward. Personally, I take the risk and auto-merge all stylesheets then deal with the fall-out on the rare occasions when it's necessary.
The only 100%-safe way I know to merge all stylesheets into one is to do a calibre conversion.
I just wish publishers of fiction put as much thought into styling the main story sensibly as they do the front- & backmatter.
