In order to import books from newer Kindles that connect using MTP connections the multiple KFX files that make up each book are first copied by calibre from the Kindle to local storage. Apparently I didn't handle long file names properly when I contributed that code to calibre. I will look into fixing it for a future release.
In the mean time a work around would be to manually copy the main .kfx file along with all of the additional files in the associated .sdr folder to someplace on your PC, create a .zip file containing all of those files, rename the extension from .zip to .kfx-zip, and then import that into calibre.
(Or just use another source for the book as I see you have done.)
