I also tried converting using Calibre and the same thing happened.

I've tracked the issue to the <dc:title> in the content.opf (if I delete the question mark here but leave it everywhere else I use the title, there is no underscore). I have kindle books with question marks in the title, so I assume there is a way to convert the file so the question mark comes through correctly, I just can't figure out how.
I couldn't reproduce your issue; I can see a final question mark in titles with my Kindle. Check the .ePub and .mobi below.
