But, good news: manually editing the TOC and telling it "Generate ToC from Files" fixes both the lack of TOC and the apparent lack of chapters. I'm also going to play around with that Modify ePub plugin to see if I can bypass converting as part of my normal workflow.
My Kobo is most happy when the ToC and the files match. If your starting book has all the chapters as files, all you have to do is the "Generate ToC from Files" thing and it works fine. But a lot of books I get have multiple chapters buried within the html files--often with a perfectly good ToC done from headings or something--but that doesn't work as well on the Kobo, especially if the files are very large. So I edit those books to separate the chapters into files and rebuild the ToC. It usually only takes a few minutes, after doing it a few times.
