#1 - probably not <HR> in the ePub but instead likely a <DIV> with a top and bottom border which has no support in Classic MOBI.
#2 - Classic MOBI doesn't support any structure for drop caps. Such caps can be made inline, but the ePub structure that creates drop caps creates the image in a separate block from the text portion of the paragraph. Converters have no way of knowing that the image and the following text should be joined.
#3 - Again, the box is likely a <DIV> with borders for which there is no Classic MOBI support. The italic paragraph is probably also all caps in the ePub, just with a text-transform:lowercase; style which is unsupported in Classic MOBI. It would be possible for a converter to handle this (changing the actual text to lowercase) but it would be quite a challenge to code and a bigger challenge to do quality assurance testing.
Also, the lack of a right indent on the italic paragraphs in #2 & #3 are the result of the design of the MOBI renderers which don't support margins and indent only the left of <BLOCKQUOTE>s. This is intentional behavior which is/was of great advantage on the small screens where MOBI was born. The sample conversions have properly converted the indented paragraphs to <BLOCKQUOTE>s.
