That might be caused by a mistake by the publisher or it could be an artifact left over from replacement of the original cover by calibre. If you can call out some of the books that exhibit this problem I can look into this further.

This wasn't a problem with AZW or mobi inputs so far as I remember.

In old versions of MOBI format there was a single table of contents that was part of the text of the book. It was important that the publisher mark where this occurred so that "Go to the TOC" would function properly on Kindles.
These days the important TOC is the logical one that is separate from the book's contents. Some publishers may have gotten sloppy about marking where the TOC that is part of the text of the book occurs since that link is not needed by the Kindle reading software.
Again some examples would be helpful in determining what is occurring in the cases you have experienced.
