Yes, that seems to be the case. Although I don't think that it's a KF8 book. File claims that the .azw3 file is 'mobipocket'.

For now, the only solution is to do as you have done by converting to mobi, request a refund and post a scathing review about poor publishing, or try to contact Kindle customer support.
I've left 1-star reviews and hope that the issue will be fixed. Hopefully this will be rectified in a future update.

Yes it sounds very similar. (That thread is a veritable goldmine!)
