Whatever is causing it is likely a pre-existing problem. Granted, the conversion makes it a PITA to figure out where that is.
Calibre turns out crap for HTML because that is how it has to do it, that is, wrap the existing stuff in SPAN tags and assign CSS with generated and thus difficult to trace names, etc. If you like convoluted, extremely difficult to read, and overly complicated HTML, then use calibre. Personally I prefer to use Sigil and then Send To Kindle, but not everyone can read and write HTML/CSS. And I never suggested calibre caused the problem, but it might have compounded it.
