TOC “stuck”, link shows in Links tab but no linked page

Question

I am trying to recreate the yearbook for my high school graduating class (1966). Since it is 95% pictures, I am targeting a fixed format ePUB book (and a Kindle format) for the final output. Exporting to fixed format ePUB, the primary TOC is properly formatted and the links to relevant pages also work. However, a secondary TOC (later in the document) which is an alphabetical list of seniors meant to link to individual 5x7 instances of the “thumbnail” images in the yearbook gets “stuck” about halfway through the second page of this secondary TOC.

Looking at the links tab, the 5x7 photo of the point it gets stuck is listed as a link but with no associated page.

I created a TOC style for this secondary TOC and a paragraph style for the captions for each photo. I then ad that caption paragraph style into the TOC style. As noted, this works for the first dozen or so entries then stops. The problem apparently is the missing page link but why is it missing? The pages are identically formatted, created by “duplicate spread” in the Layout>Pages menu.

I’m stumped.

I am not 100% sure multiple TOCs work in EPUB — in general, or specifically in the difficult fixed-page layout. No data either way but you may have run into an insoluble problem. An index for the alphabetical listing might be one workaround.

Are both of your TOC's named "styles"? Or are you using the [Default] one? (That should be avoided, always.) Try creating two named styles for your TOCs as one possible fix.
