I suspect that this new CLI is intended as a replacement for kindlegen.
I agree that it would be nice if the export function of the Previewer GUI would allow KPF as an option. Perhaps in a future release.

The problem does not appear to have anything to do with the kindlegen warnings. By using calibre's GUI to convert from KPF to KFX you are actually converting from KPF to EPUB and then from EPUB to KFX. In this case the conversion to EPUB is failing due to unexpected content in the KPF file that the KFX Input plugin cannot handle.
I would like to fix this. It would be helpful if you could post the source file you used, as long as the book is not under copyright. (If it is still under copyright you could feed it through the
ScrambleEbook calibre plugin to remove the text while retaining the formatting.)
If you use the command line interface of the KFX Output plugin it will avoid the step of converting to and from EPUB, which is part of calibre's GUI conversion process. That will repackage the content from the KPF file into a KFX container.
