I did some experiments and it looks like it's because I have it set for epub 3 in the output options. For no particular reason, except for consistency I suppose, since I always use epub3 when starting something in sigil.

It's unfortunate that calibre doesn't also produce the toc.ncx file when the output is set to epub 3. In sigil I always generate one just before the final epubcheck.
