IMHO, this doesn't make sense.

Why would Amazon develop azkcreator.exe if they didn't plan on using it?
Why would they advertise drop caps capability in their latest iOS version (4.9.1), which is a KF8-only feature?
(Unless, of course, drop caps capability is the only KF8 feature that is officially supported.)

I'm assuming that you and your client have already tried the following:

Installed and registered the latest iOS Kindle app (4.9.1) on an iPad model with iOS 7.1.2 (or higher) and then bought and downloaded the book in question. (Older iOS devices and apps might not be supported.)

It that's the case and a sideloaded AZK version of the same file displays fine, there's a KDP backend problem that Amazon needs to fix. My guess is that their pipeline tool might fall back to KF7 mode if it encounters CSS rules that it can't handle and your book might just contain such a style.

BTW, did you report this as a KDP bug and what does KDP support say?
