I have tried EPUBs from feedbooks, and they work except that the .ncx file is again ignored. There is a TOC, but it comes from the guide section of the .opf file rather than the .ncx file.
If there is no DRM, then the conversion should have worked. I tried a couple from Feedbooks, and you're right. It leaves much to be desired.

There is a vast amount of data in the epub file. The conversion should be just as good as a conversion from an exploded MSLIT.
