AFAIK the XRay fie should not be getting deleted, I would guess the Kindle simply knows it doesn't match.

Does the book even show up as from Amazon? i.e. if you long-press does the delete option say "remove from device".
Also, the {ebook-file}.sdr folder which contains the extra data like annotations, pagenumbers, X-Ray, etc. must match the filename of the ebook file. I get around this with a custom send-to-device (KINDLE2 driver) filename template in calibre using a custom column called "Original Filename".
1. To be sure I understand..Just reconverting is throwing it off, or both reconverting and counting the page numbers?

2. My option says "Delete this Book".

3. Please explain, walk me through, your template?

I found this thread and asked there.

Thank you, again.
They have an application for my Kindle's current firmware but not a plugin so I've opted to hold off for now.
