I then import the file into Calibre, run convert, and the output epub file is the one with errors. The original .mobi file is just fine.
I've check the utf-8, Windows Latin, etc., but it's not just a matter of transposing characters it doesn't recognise, it also sometimes garbles/joins words or parts of words, or you'll find a partially closed div (/div>) sitting on the page. It's just here and there but I'd say probably there are probably errors such as this every few pages. I'm using a Sony PRS600 reader and it's the same problems on my PC so it's not a reader error either.
These are small errors, but too frequent, and they 'jar' you out of what you are reading.
Any other ideas please?

I think you answered your own question.
DRM removal made some errors decrypting and you are seeing the results.
Board policy is we don't discuss how to do this (with or without errors)
