There needs to be some kind of warning in Flight Crew or in help files about this problem, if users decide to convert an EPUB to Kindle. Many users assume that an epubcheck-compliant EPUB is 100% ready for Kindle conversion. In actuality, there are many small pitfalls, listed in my Kindle formatting manual (search for "EPUB" in the ebook).
Sigil is an ePUB2 editor and does not create Kindle files. Multilevel NCX is perfectly valid ePUB2. If the conversion of a perfectly valid ePUB to a file for Kindle gives issues, it is not the fault of the ePUB or Sigil, but the conversion process. The warnings should be given by the conversion process, not the ePUB editor.
