I've never encountered that, except very rarely when someone has botched the coding of superscripted or subscripted numbers in the ebook.
With some combinations of font size, line spacing and font, the descenders of the last line show at the top of the next page, and the ascenders of the first line appear at the bottom of the previous page. Patching the firmware to allow lower line spacing can trigger it. And I've always though that some fonts had their metrics set in a way to cause it. Most times I have seen it, the book had Charis SIL or one of it's derivatives embedded.
