At this point I think you've done everything you can
do. I'd just approve it and put a note in the long
synopsis (because the Comments do not go with the book
into the collection) that the problem exists despite
all you efforts to get rid of it. Whoever downloads it
from the collection probably will be glad to have it
anyway, and maybe they can get rid of the problem
before they read it.
