mr-j0nes sent me a few mobi books to look at. Some of them had the one page only problem, and some seemed to be OK. The interesting thing is that the one-page books had the zoom icon instead of the fonts icon when the bottom bar was displayed.

It looks like the first page is rendered as an image. The zoom icon works to zoom in and then move the page around the screen.

I pulled a few books apart and I can only see one difference between the good and bad books. The working books have the text wrapped in <div>'s. The bad ones, don't have this. I don't know if this is the reason for the problem or not.

I did convert a few of the non-working to epub. mr-j0nes said he had problem with at least one of these stopping after only 15 pages. I didn't have any problems with any of them. I didn't actually read them, just kept tapping the screen to page forward while I was reading this forum. I only tried two or three, so I might have missed the bad one.
