For what it is worth... I opened ID tonight and popped up a window saying it could not recover the file I have been working on; I chose Cancel, as I have found that trying to recover the file may well make it worse. Within a second or two ID crashed and disappeared with no message; before it crashed I *might* have clicked on the file to open it, but it crashed so unexpectedly I don't recall what I did.
I repeated the process and was able to open ID and the file without problems.
So far ID has not shown a crash report window. I always send those, along with whatever meaningful comments I can.

ID 20.0.1 seems highly unstable, perhaps due to table operations, but that is not clear. I have no idea if these bugs are in the original 20 release; the update was before I began this work.
Since I posted my original report, I had to kill ID at least five or six times; I stopped counting.
Several were to kill it when it locked up immediately after starting, apparently when it was trying to open or recover the file it was processing when I had to kill it because it locked up.
Sometimes the slightest changes to a table would lock ID, for example, narrowing a column such that a two line header cell would need to fold to three lines; there were multiple words, so it could have folded. When I clicked that one last point less on the width that would have folded the cell to three lines, it locked.
When working on the chapter file, I had another file open at the same time. On several occasions when I restarted ID after having to kill it, ID opened multiple copies/tabs of one or both files. Once it opened three tabs of each, another time it opened four tabs of the other file.
At least ID has not destroyed the files tonight. Saturday I lost several hours work when ID locked up in early evening and had to be killed, and on restart it was back to where I started that day. I understand that killing a program when files are open can corrupt the files, but when it is this unstable I need to close the files and make a copy every few minutes if I don't want to lose work.

Indesign 20 still does not pick up master page elements specified in the TOC definition, with exactly the problem that others have reported. In my case a chapter number element in a master page is not picked up, and I must override the chapter number in each chapter file. This seems an obvious design flaw, and to not have it corrected after so many years is, citing James' comment, "silly really."

This is embarrasing, but now that I look at the epub with the Calibre viewer and with Sigil, I see that the problem is really the Apple Books reader, not the ID export. That had never occurred to me; I did not step back far enough to think about the problem differently. In Sigil I see that the content.opf file has these lines,
<dc:language>en-US</dc:language>
<dc:language>he-IL</dc:language>and it appears that from the language specs that the Apple Books app decides to interpret the epub as an RTL book. The Calibre viewer and Kindle Preview 3 apps show the book correctly.
So there is no problem with ID export. My apologies for not looking more deeply into the problem before posting.
