Personally, I find that using epubcheck or the version of Flightcrew's epub validator built into Sigil will detect the majority of corrupted epubs before you sideload them.
Sigil will make changes to the structure of the epub file when you save the file but those changes make the epub conform to the standard epub structure -- the mimetype file alone in the root of the zipped file, the META-INF folder with the container.xml file and an OEBPS folder with it's two files for toc and content and subfolders for text, styles, images, fonts, etc. so the structure change does not bother me.

If it's that well formalised, and checkable, sounds like something Calibre desperately needs to conform to, and implement - of course, it may do this already, I wouldn't know, as everything from Calibre has been accepted by my KT up to now.
