Book View is simply not being actively developed at this time. We inherited Book View. The main reason it still exists is because enough people who've learned to work around all its eccentricities, pitfalls and limitations, yell loudly when we mention getting rid of it.
We have no
real control over the code that is spit out by these Book View formatting buttons (and no control over what portions of the underlying code users are applying those buttons' functions
to). That's the part so few understand. They are what they are. There is no "fix." You either find a way to work around it, or you don't use Book View.
So if you like using Book View, by all means, do so. But at least enable both of the "Mend XHTML Source Code" options in Sigil's preferences if you're going to continue using it. Doing so would have prevented the Well-formed error you were getting in this instance (it still would have made ugly code, but at least it would have been valid).
I know you think you're pointing out "bugs," but all you're really doing is reminding most people why they stopped using Book View a long time ago.
If we could turn those Book View formatting buttons into magic buttons that worked regardless of what a user highlighted, we'd have done so a long time ago.
