Much like Amazon's Direct Publishing program where epub is been a preferred format for a couple of years now, Garbage In, Garbage Out definitely applies. An epub that is compliant with the epub specification will convert happily. An epub with errors will not. These errors can be as simple as the epub not being UTF-8/UTF-16 compliant which is a requirement to styles that are not supported or are incorrectly entered. In my limited testing, if an epub passes epubcheck, it will convert without problems.

For those who prefer to stay with Amazon software, you can use Kindle Previewer (Windows or Mac) which will also complain about non-compliant epubs though it will accept some errors that epubcheck will detect.
