Aha! Thank you, that gave me the info I needed. There's no need to convert to epub, though (I was trying to avoid doing that because I would lose small-caps formatting in epub). Here's how I did it:

1. Imported the HTML;
2. Converted the HTML to MOBI, setting the xpath in "Detect Chapters" to where I wanted the chapter stops to be, and turning on debugging;
3. In the debug output folder, edited processed\content.opf and added the line mentioned in that post to the <guide> section;
4. zipped the contents of processed to a new zipfile;
5. removed all formats from the book's entry in calibre;
6. imported the new zip file;
7. converted the ZIP to MOBI, only this time removing the xpath in "Detect Chapters", removing the debugging path, and checking "Do not add table of contents" in the MOBI output options.

Voila! Different TOC and NCX listings, which is what I wanted, with no epub step necessary. Thanks very much for the help!
