This seems to imply a deeper problem than just having the wrong kindle pid generated from kindlepid.py.

I agree...sounds like the issue is not your PID. What title are you trying? You said universally, so have you had some that have worked for you?

Possible points of failure, and what (I think) I've ruled out:
1.single quoting my kindle PID before running it on my file is not workable on my current OS -- running stuff in cmd line of windows XP (in case the asterisk is globbing or expanding or whatever)

I am also running XP. Quoting not required on the PID. Only on the file names if they have spaces AFAIK.

2.Probably not an issue w/my kindle serial->kindle PID conversion -- I bought my kindle within the last 2 months, and assume kindlepid.py can handle such serials fine.

Mine is less than a week old and kindlepid worked fine...I checked its output against mobipocket6.0 and both agreed. I am assuming you did not put quotes around your serial number when using it. Just >kindlepid.py serial
