The file created by "Kindlegen"
does contain the original source of the book, but this will
not be contained in any file that Amazon sends you. You can trivially prove this for yourself: compare the size of the Kindlegen output with what you get back from Amazon - the Kindlegen file will be a lot bigger, because it contains the source code.

So the answer to my original question is: Qualified Yes? Amazon is delivering epubs-in-a-wrapper to owners of the Fire and related devices and apps?

No, KF8 is not ePub. You can think of it as "ePub in a wrapper" if it helps you to do so, but it's not ePub. KF8 is supported by all Kindle apps (PC, Mac, Win8, iOS, Android) and all Kindle readers from the Kindle Keyboard onwards.
