Some SVGs produced by MathJax for EPUBs end up rendering as black boxes (at least in Calibre).

See Sample Article, 7.6:

Yes, I did happen to see that one. I'm going to guess one of those symbols is causing problems (the Maltese cross?). I'll see about removing them one-by-one.

Its the hash (#) symbol.

Replacing the bare character (U+0023) by \# fixes the math, but then breaks the cross-reference.

I think I recently discussed exactly this with the MathJax folks. I'll find a reference later...

Which got tangled up in another thread, and which has one small obvious typo from Davide.

In short, a typical LaTeX mess from over-zealous markup, and perhaps saved for v4.
