Has anyone else noticed this problem?

It's on a KV.
Do those books have embedded font? Make sure you select Helvetica instead of publisher's font.

I overrode serif, and this appears to have changed some things in the UI - e.g. on the homepage, the list of recommended books on the right appears in the font I just installed. But I don't know how to get this to show up in a book. All of the listed fonts - Amazon Ember, Amazon Ember Bold, Baskerville, Bookerly, Caecilia, Publisher Font, Caecilia Condensed, Futura, Helvetica, OpenDyslexic, and Palatino - all work the way they did before I installed the font using this hack (Garamond Bold). Did something change in 5.8.9, or am I missing something?
Serif is either Caecilia regular or bookerly. You need to select the font. The font menu will not show your font's name.
