Well, now I know why. In the two-column layout, there was no change
in indentation of the first paragraph of a chapter...
I suppose you mostly see the two-column layout so it's natural you
didn't see any difference.
I don't know why, but when you specify "twocolumn" option to the "book"
documentclass, the first paragraph of a chapter *is* indented.
I noticed the difference in perfbook-1c.pdf first, and wrongly assumed
it was also the case in two-column layout.
Sorry for my confusion.
I have no idea if the behavior of twocolumn option is intended or not.
So the addition of epigraphs actually made the indentation consistent
in both two-column and one-column layout.
I can resubmit a patch that only changes at the first paragraphs of
sections.

\epigraph{} command does have this side-effect in one-column layout.
I found several examples where people use \noindent after \epigraph{},
but there seems to be no strong rules here.
So just doing consistently can be said of as the rule.
It's the editor's call, I think.
Thanks.
