While it is true that epub uses the table of contents file for its TOC, and not any particular data in the file (like H1s), the original poster is no doubt thinking about the fact that Sigil generates its TOC by using H1 and H2 entries.

I do know that an epub file that I have been working on in Sigil used to show h1 and h2 TOC items on the Nook. Under 1.5 it only shows the h1 items. In Sigil, all the items (h1s and h2s) are checked in the TOC tool to be used for TOC entries, and they all appear properly in the TOC display of Calibre Viewer, Adobe Digital Editions, and the Firefox Plugin.

Sooooo, I think that 1.5 in the Nook just lost its ability to show secondary TOC items.

As far as the original question about the epub file having chapters that are implemented with h1 tags but are not showing up in the TOC, I'd suggest opening the file in Sigil and looking with the TOC tool. Maybe those entries that aren't working are not checked? But then I can not explain why they are showing up in the TOC in other devices. Sounds odd.
