That seems heavy handed on calibre's part.

The request has been made, Kovid replied that you should convert to dual MOBI (both old MOBI and AZW3) to change the cdetype, but this would take twice the disk space for the format I don't need (old mobi), so not really feasible either.
That's disappointing. It may be a reasonable default but it should be possible to change regardless of whether amazon ever fixes their bug.

I disagree that the workaround isn't feasible but I can see how many would find it completely unacceptable.
