This sounds like a completely different problem, which is that the KePub reader expects the only thing in the first html file of the book to be a cover image.
The usual problem with Gutenberg books is that they either don't have a cover image, or they combine the cover image with other text in the first html file.
The easiest solution is probably to get Calibre to add or replace the cover.
Edit: Actually, on second thought, this could be related to the OP's problem in that the reason the lack of a proper cover page causes a problem is that the KePub reader always displays the first html file of the book in full-screen mode, on the assumption that it contains nothing but a cover image. It might be that applying the patch would fix this problem too, I haven't tested that though.
