First I wouldn't expect the "code" tag to be converted it doesn't lend itself well to ereaders. Ereaders are designed to reflow and code tags fight to prevent any distortion of the the code.

For their epub version they might have used a different method to simulate a "code" tag but if they didn't then the text would either run off of the screen or reflow would screw it up. I expect the result of converting from epub to mobi will most likely be the same.

Mobi has limitations not seen in epub or HTML it seems to use a propriety implementation of html 3.2.

You might want to use Kindle's conversion service. They may have a more elaborate conversion setup.
