Is there an option I'm missing?
No. I suppose it would be possible to do something more clever but i feel that these kind of files are not common and you can probably do other things in the conversion chain to preserve some markup.

Dumb question: Is there a exth option in the GUI that I could use to get it to work?
No, I do not think so but since the format is secret there could be such a field or some flag to set in the header to indicate a text file.

Side observation: I did try the ABC Amber Palm converter to make the html and then used html2mobi, and the line breaks were there.
Yes, this is as expected. What format did you start with?

Dumb question #2: Is there a way to convert a PDB to a PRC that would be GUI-compatible, so I could just edit the metadata and make a good MOBI file?
pdb or prc just indicated that it is a container format. If you have a TEXt file type with html in it it will work. Is it a text file that is packed in it it will not work.
