Ok, but I replicated the behavior with Kindle Previewer:
1. Save epub with calibre
2. Use kindlegen to convert epub to mobi
3. Open mobi with Kindle Previewer

I don't see my monospace fonts this way, but if I:
1. Save epub with calibre
2. Convert epub to mobi with calibre
3. Open mobi with Kindle Previewer

then it works.

That would explain the behavior I'm seeing. So am I just out of luck in hoping to get monospace fonts? Or is it possible to replace the mobi7 portion of the kindlegen-generated file with one I create in calibre?

Thank you both very much for your assistance.
