If I understand it correctly, your problem is with KindleGen (or whatever you use to convert ePUB to Mobi). Apparently it needs a non-compliant ePUB to create a compliant Mobi, and this is wrooooong.
The "easy" solution is not using KindleGen, but something better. It need not be a whole new program, but just a little script that does what you need:
0.5) Copy the input compliant ePUB to a temporary file.
1) Modify the temporary file to change "Text" into "Start Reading". Since an ePUB is just zipped text files, it shouldn't be too complicated.
2) Convert the modified temporary file to Mobi with KindleGen.
2.5) Delete the temporary file.
Call the script KindleGenPlus, and use KindleGenPlus from now on
