My question is: what would cause a purchased 2016 book with no apparent voucher to be interpreted by Calibre as a kfx when trying to convert?
I do not see Ausbandicoot indicating that the book was in KFX format. If Ausbandicoot followed the instructions in the first post of this thread then they have installed a version of Kindle for Android that is incapable of downloading in KFX format. That is backed up by the ".prc" file extension mentioned in the post quoted above. That file extension is not used for KFX.

As to the reason for DRM removal failing I think it is most likely that Ausbandicoot failed to follow all of the instructions properly and that DRM removal is not set up properly on their system. If that is the case then the books that worked previously never had DRM to begin with.
