Returning to the first post, if you include a media tag of the form "amzn-mobi" in your CSS, in your original epub, and you ingest that into Kindle Previewer/Kindlegen, that media query neither effects the old mobi bit, nor the new KF8 bit. So, if I open that mobi on a Kindle Fire, or a "paperwhite", none of the styling enclosed within the media query will appear. If that is true, and it appears to be so, how do I target the older device/format?

How do you know that the amzn-mobi tags do not affect the old Mobi bit of the file? Have you compared the old mobi HTML extracted by KindleUnpack on some books with and without amzn-mobi tags?
Unless you strip out the KF8 bit from the kindlegen output, you won't see the old mobi bit on Paperwhite or Fire devices. The only Kindles that will display the old Mobi and the Original Kindle, the Kindle 2, some Kindle 3s with old firmware, and some old versions of Kindle for iOS. All other Kindle devices and software will display the KF8 section instead.
