It appears to be both a problem of implementation and design approach.

From the International Digital Publishing Forum page:


The background-image property remains largely unsupported because of
the reflowable nature of EPUBs. Although support may increase as
fixed-layout publications get supported, use of images is not
recommended in general, reflowable publications.


As the text / image size relationship will vary depending on the renderer (from a tiny smartphone screen to a tablet or computer screen, with varying font size, modifiable by the user), it may not be a good idea to place text over images at all.

In this particular case, you may be able to make an image header with the number 2 and the shoes, putting the rest of the text afterwards without overlaying the image and modifying the circle with the "56 words" in a more elegant way -than the solution offered by InDesign. It may help to remember that ePub is closer to Dreamweaver than Photoshop capabilities.
