Either way, I'd appreciate advice on working around the issue.
For what it's worth, when calibre adds a saved web page, it will save the various bits and pieces in a .zip file. If you open the .zip file in an archiver, you will see a .htm file, a content.opf file, a mimetype file and a META-INF file. Oddly similar to what you see when opening an ePub file.

I did a quick copy and paste of the document and spent a minute doing cleanup to generate an ePub.
