a) Convert from ePub to MOBI using Calibre, then
b) convert from MOBI to ePub using Calibre, then
c) convert from ePub to MOBI using kindlegen.
This is a very round about way to get a Kindle MOBI, but Amazon can hardly blame Calibre if kindlegen is what creates the MOBI.

My problem thus far is that the Sigil-epub-to-KindleGen hasn't produced a TOC. I'll try it, because at this point I'd try almost bloody anything. AFTER I try Kovid's excellent method to find the single html file...just in case. ;-)
I am really, really, REALLY hating Amazon today, those @sswipes.
EDIT: UPDATE: This procedure, mind-blowingly, works. I deleted my Sigil-created epub from the Calibre library (as I was somewhat unsure of the overwriting protocols) and converted my mobi BACK to epub, then drag-n-dropped that sucker right onto KindleGen, and, bobs-yer-uncle, it worked.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
