I may be able answer my own question... I discovered that, in addition to setting the regular expression for locating the TOC information, it is necessary to also change the Calibre settings under the “MOBI Output” sidebar option. I un-ticked “Do not add Table of Contents to book” and gave the TOC a name (Contents), AND THEN it appeared on my Kindle-3, although several chapter files appeared twice, and out of sequence, so it’s still not right. Calibre is “finding” stuff incorrectly.
However, in my case, since my index page already has a Table of Contents, I should probably NOT activate the compiled TOC, and the TOC option under Goto... should remain greyed out. Goto... Beginning is essentially the same thing anyway. Goto... Cover works fine.

But I’m still curious as to why books do not open on the cover?
