I think I figured out why active content doesn't work. The old 2.5.8 and the new 3.0 uses different active content "format". So there are active content designed for 2.x and 3.x. When you download it, amazon chooses automatically based on your device. Unfortunately, they don't support 3.x on DX or k2, so you get the 2.x version. The only way to bypass it is to 1) change your serial number to a kindle 3 device or 2) download it for another kindle 3, and remove the drm.
