Further supporting this theory, here is a log snippet from converting an EPUB where I did get the plugboard result:

Code:
Creating MOBI Output...
Serializing resources...
Creating MOBI 6 output
Applying case-transforming CSS...
Parsing manglecase.css ...
Rasterizing SVG images...
Converting XHTML to Mobipocket markup...
Serializing markup content...
  Compressing markup content...
Generating MOBI index for a book
MOBI output written to C:\Users\Laird\AppData\Local\Temp\calibre_185vi_\zkxi9t.mobi
Note no "Creating KF8 output" appears.


ETA:

Increasingly believing this is a straight-up bug (or invisible behavior) in conversion preference handling. If I interactively request conversion using the right-click menu and select "Bulk convert" to MOBI, it picks up the configured preference, regardless of book.

On selected books, if I select "Bulk convert", it picks up the preference, but if I select "Convert Individually" it sets "both" and "[PDOC]" in the MOBI options, ignoring the configured preference. To be clear, this behavior differs on some books vs. others.

I'm suspecting the same behavior is happenign on the auto conversion invoked by Email.
