Create a new issue on the tracker and attach one such file.
As a guess, your file probably specifies two encoding for the XHTML files: one in the XML declaration, and one in the meta tag. Sigil picks the meta tag encoding first (Firefox-like behavior) and Calibre picks the XML tag encoding first.
Goes without saying that a file that specifies
two encodings is faulty (it's impossible to have two encodings for one byte stream). The odds that a Reading System will pick the correct one (since only one encoding can be correct) in such a situation is 50-50.
