(e.g., calibre1, calibre2, etc.) What's going on? I've never had this issue when I exploded and rebuilt Calibre files myself.
I hate to say this, but once you have the ePub made, don't let Calibre make any changes to it. I've found Calibre can do some pretty funky things to perfectly good ePub code.

I use Notepad++ since it allows me to have multiple tabs, regex, and search/replace across tabs. I use Forefox to view the XML files and if they look OK, I put the ePub back together and have a look in ADE.
