txt to epub problems (chaptering)

Calibre has developed some strange "chaptering" problems with adding books.

I've just added two texts (plain, UTF8) to my library. Both are identical in that the layout (spaces between chapter end and next; space below chapter to subheading; style of Chapter etc.) is the same.

I converted them to epub: one produced 25 chapters as expected, the other split the (similar size) text into four sections. The split layout is as seen on "fbreader for android", but confirmed on Sigil.

The other observation is that the non-chaptered epub text has all the gaps between chapters, paragraphs etc. removed, leaving an almost continuous text, even though the original text had gaps between paras and 3-line gaps between chapters.
Oh, and I have made sure the 'preserve spaces' box is ticked in 'txt input options'.....

So, any ideas what is going on? Can someone confirm what the input/conversion/output settings should be to get epub chapters from plain text? This unpredicability is driving me mad!

Thanks
