This is precisely the same behavior you get with any other Mobi DRM file that's not encoded for your device. It looks as if all that's happening is that this is standard MobiPocket DRM using a PID that's internal to the Kindle.
May be a dumb question since I don't buy DRMed Mobipocket, but would it be possible to read the Kindle book with a PC Mobipocket reader if you could discover what the Kindle PID was?
