So in short: you can add all the extra "blank" pages to your epub that you want using Sigil--no tricks required. But you'll need to fool Kindlegen into believing the extra blank pages contain some sort of actual content (if you don't want them chucked from the resulting kindlebook). That about the gist?
That's exactly the gist. You must fooleth KindleGen/KPreviewer, otherwise, it nukes your "empty" elements, whatever they are--paragraphs, pages, yadda.

Diap, you made me chuckle. TY for that.
