Example:

This is because Google does post-processing on scans to simulate hyperlinks in the table of contents for the Google Book Search view, which is where BUB pulls its images from. For example:
https://books.google.com/books?id=rmk-AAAAYAAJ&pg=PP15
These artifacts don't exist in the PDF (click the button with the gear icon at the top right on that page and select "Download PDF"), or the scans in Play Books reader view:
https://books.google.com/books/reader?id=rmk-AAAAYAAJ&output=reader&pg=GBS.PP15
