What do you think of this solution?
That seems reasonable to me. If I understand your solution, the tag tells you that Calibre made the MOBI format, just not what original was used as the source. For books with only a single original format, you'd know the source. Do you write the "Converted EPUB" tag for an original EPUB format if you do an EPUB->EPUB conversion?

I decided I'd just keep my originals entirely outside of Calibre, so I've mostly avoided this issue. Some originals are great, but some are not. I wanted to feel free to modify/improve every format stored in Calibre, and if I messed an original up, I would just go back to my master originals, stored elsewhere. It was too easy to accidentally overwrite, merge, delete or do something bad to an original if kept inside Calibre.
