I had to use "download to my computer so I can use USB to put it on my Kindle" to force a non-KFX version to download. (Not actual terminology.)

JHOWELL, have you tried going to your Kindle as a mounted device on your computer, and deleting ALL the parts to that particular book? That might force the next download to bring it down in a new format. Maybe?
I have checked using USB to be sure that no files or directory related to the book remained after deleting and before downloading again.

I went ahead and de-registered the kindle, reset it back to factory default and registered it again. I connected via USB to verify that none of my books remain and then re-downloaded On Basilisk Station and it is still delivered as AZW3.

At this point I am out of ideas. Perhaps someone else running firmware 5.6.5 (2730300038) on a Kindle Paperwhite II can try this book and see which format they get on their device. (It is a free book.)
