An epub where every chapter header is an individual file all to itself. An epub where sections in a chapter are split into individual files. The only way to have the entire chapter as a single file is to only use 1 heading tag. I'm not sure but I suspect the TOC tool by default grabs the first text line to display as the chapter title. Perhaps it is supposed to make it easier to generate a TOC when you don't know how to properly use heading tags.

In the epub I got to work on, a chapter that should be one file ends up with in the example 4 files. I used ~~~~~~~~~~~ to mark the file chunks.

Code:
<h1>Chapter One</h1>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

<h2>Mechanist</h2>

text block
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

<h2>Faeland</h2>

text block
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

<h2>Mechanist</h2>

Text block
And yeah, seeing Chapter One on a page by itself and page breaks instead of a text or graphic section break is rather annoying.

I remember at one point calibre would do that on a conversion and I found that annoying as well.
