According to my understanding, EPUB is a renamed .zip whereas mobi7/8 is some sort of database. Each html "file" is stuck within that database.

What that means is each file is interpreted as part0001.html etc. and cannot be changed. At the very least saving the book will undo it all.

I do not know why calibre munged your links instead of updating them.
