Yep that's my own "start" guide reference that goes before the TOC (from the epub pre-mobi compile).
If you look at the later one that I unpacked, which is the purchased version, you'll see:
Code:
<reference type="text" href="132_ Delicious Salads, Dressings And Dip - Raiz, Gabrielle.html#filepos33050" />
This is the extra start that they added after the TOC file.
I wish my update had been posted (I guess it may come out of the mod's queue at some point!) as the KDP rep admitted that they add it, but here's the snippet:

Further, with regard to the "Go to Beginning" and "Start Reading Location" of your titles, i.e. the page at which your book opens for customers, please note, when a Kindle book is opened on a device or a Kindle app, the book usually begins after the TOC, when the uploaded content is a MOBI/PRC or a NCX/OPF-enabled HTML. This is related to a code called the SRL (Start Reading Location). By default, when MOBI/PRC files are created, the SRL is usually placed where the content begins and not the cover image or the page after cover, and hence, the content opens accordingly.
This Start Reading Location is set at our end once your file is published to the Kindle Store; This is why it is different in the copy that you purchase or the sample that you download from the Store, than the MOBI file that you create or preview before publishing.
