Rather than immediately wade through the calibre forum, does anyone know if the programmer might be addressing the files that while named xxxx.azw are actually topaz? Obviously this would slow down the parsing if he had to look at the first 4 characters to determine, ah, Topaz, then then treat them like topaz to get at the metadata.

You'd definitely get more (and probably more complete) responses in the Calibre forum, but in short, I doubt something like you're proposing would be taken up by the developers. All of the current metadata reader plugins are called based on the extension of the file being imported. While it may be
possible to modify the mobi metadata reader plugin to test for topaz -- and then subsequently defer to the topaz metadata reader -- I'm not sure it would be worth the trouble. Metadata reading and modifying is currently the only thing you can do with Topaz files in Calibre, anyway.
You could always request a feature enhancement (on Calibre's bug-tracker website). The worst they can say is no.
