I know what the problem is. If you take the ePub and look and the two cover html files, you'll see they are using wonky code to treat the JPG images as SVG. Calibre mishandles this and the images do not come out properly. What you need to do to fix this is replace that SVG code with HTML code that centers the images as standard JPG. Then the conversion to Mobipocket will work fine.
