I have the same problem here, but it's manifesting in a slightly different way.

I've converted a few books in Calibre from txt/rtf and other sources to ePub. Now some work fine and you can enter them via any method you want, others are a bit trickier.

For instance, one book I can open immediately from the "I'm Reading" page as soon as it's placed on the machine and listed as "new", after accessing it I can then still access it from this page. If I go to the main books menu then I can and also cannont open it. I cannot open it when the view is set to "cover only", I get the content locked message, but if I set it too Covers & Text or Text Only then I can enter it fine.

This only appears to affect ePubs that have covers attached, the couple of books that I've converted that did not have covers attached open fine from any view option.

Interestingly this problem does not appear with the "commercial" free ePub Hal Spacejock.

Used the suggested stylesheet correction but that doesn't resolve the bug. Still investigating for the time being.
