If you rename the file to <bookname>.ibooks and open it in Sigil, Sigil crashes. That may mean the ibooks file is radically malformed, or Sigil is buggy, or both!
I'm attaching the renamed ibooks file in case anyone wants to poke around in it.

If you change the .epub extension to .zip you can then unzip it and look at the results (not that I was any the wiser) but there are xhtml files plus a .opf and a .ncx a folder of images and .css files etc etc etc. According to Liz Castro it's all valid epub and readable on a Nook.

There wasn't any announcement about reader software for Macs - so I'm assuming that means the answer is 'no'. Which seems pretty weird.
