Hmmm. I don't really know anything about Marvin--that concerns me, though.
I was already working on adding a specific FAQ about Sigil, I just haven't put it up yet. Thanks for the update on Sigil.

Why can't I use Sigil to edit Anthology EPUBs?
FanFicFare essentially downloads each story separately and uses the
EpubMerge plugin to merge them together. On Anthology update, it
splits the stories back out again, updates each, and merges them
again.
EpubMerge, in order to touch the contents of each merged book as
little as possible, stores each in a separate directory inside the
EPUB zip file. This is perfectly valid by the EPUB standard.
[Sigil] makes the assumption that all files in the EPUB zip are
uniquely named, and that the directory structure can be flattened
without harm. This is not true of EpubMerged EPUBs (and therefore
FanFicFare Anthologies).
This was reported to the Sigil team in 2013; they elected not to fix
it as it would require too many changes to the way Sigil works.
As of Apr 2015, there are reports that the problem persists, but I
haven't tested it for myself.
