It was the Calibre-produced epub that I uploaded to Amazon, only to encounter all the woes specified above.

And while doing even more research about this issue, I discovered this from Aaron Shepard:

Unfortunately, the final testing of your book can come only after you publish it. That’s because KDP staff may alter it before letting it go on sale! Most commonly, if you’ve inserted a “start” guide item, they will move it if they think the book should open in a different place—and they’ll never tell you they did it.
