I just want to make sure other folks agree with this statement, because it sure seems to me like that "Detect chapters..." string was intended to do something.

TXT files can have any arbitray "layout" there is no way to properly detect each and every one. TXT input only detects paragraphs. Everything is a paragraph. Where one starts and stops can be tuned using a number of different options. The easiest way to differentiate things like chapter headings is to explicitly mark them using markdown.
The only other way to detect chapters is for you to write a custom XPath expression for your book in question. What ever the XPath matches will be considered a chapter. The default is to check for h1 and h2 tags that have some kind of word like chapter in them. Hence the suggestion of marking it with markdown wherein your example would have the chapters detected with the default XPath expression.

You will have to add extra css. Have a look at the
Custom CSS thread here for some ideas.
