This will never happen, because MobiPocket requires DRM exclusivity on dedicated reading devices. For non-DRMed MOBI, Calibre does a near perfect format shift to ePub or LRF. You can test this using Calibre's own built in reading application or using Sony's Windows ebook Reader (the latest version emulates a PRS-700).

Calibre only imports DRM-free ebooks, but mobidedrm.py can strip MOBI DRM. There are laws against stripping DRM in the US and several other countries. However, it is hard to see who is hurt by format shifting ebooks (with or without DRM) for personal use.
