Rebutting my own post - it isn't the file extension that is significant, but rather the file type. A MobiPocket e-book can either have TEXtREAd or BOOKMOBI as bytes 61-68. The former is supposed to uniquely identify an Aportis Doc (PalmDoc) e-book, but it is used in many MobiPocket ebooks which are (perhaps) also Aportis Doc compatible. Generally, the .mobi extension implies BOOKMOBI but a .prc could have either TEXtREAd or BOOKMOBI.

So, my current theory is that BOOKMOBI ebooks initially have their formal title listed by the contentLister but TEXtREAd ebooks list the filename.
