I am not sure I understand the problem.
Surely, everyone knows that Sigil's official stance on EPUB3 is currently "we do not support it, sorry"?

The fact that Sigil is in the process of incorporating features that make it less likely to trample on an EPUB3, does not mean that Sigil actually supports EPUB3 (yet).



Blindly trusting an EPUB3 that has been edited with Sigil to pass Epubcheck seems to me to be optimistic to the point of foolishness.



For now, one should *expect* odd errors to crop up when editing EPUB3, and know how to deal with them.
Or use the EPUB3 export plugin.
