If you have a kindlegensrc.zip, you can just ignore the remaining output of mobiunpack.

Unfortunatly most mobi files don't contain the record which contains the kindlegensrc.zip, so using the content to improve the mobiunpack output won't help in most cases.

But at least the new mobiwriter in calibre should handle ncx files, so the calibre source should give the information how the ncx content is encoded in the mobi file.
