I tried your sample code and experienced the same failures with Previewer 3.4 beta. I agree that they are caused by bugs in the Previewer.

The Previewer has many other bugs that cause failure to convert books for Enhanced Typesetting. Since they happen silently, just reporting "Enhanced Typesetting not supported" for those books, it isn't obvious to the user just how buggy it really is.

Bugs that prevent generation of a MOBI file, such as you found, are rarer.
