Some more experimenting revealed that this is precisely the problem, yes. Changes in the CSS Override input box only take effect after completely restarting Calibre. This is true, at least for Mobipocket, in both 0.4.133 and 0.4.134

I'm definitely looking forward to the simple settings. :-)

As for XPath vs. the LRF settings, with the latter it took me 30 seconds of thinking about what I'm supposed to enter into those fields and exactly one failed attempt until I had the chapters detected and page breaks inserted exactly where I wanted them. I have no doubt that XPath is far more powerful and versatile a tool, but I doubt I would have gotten up to speed with XPath within two minutes...
