Yes, Mobipockets rendering of CSS is not only limited but also idiosyncratic - an HTML/CSS combination written in compliance to Mobipocket conventions does not validate according to W3C standards. So far as I've been able to find out so far W3C standard compliant HTML/CSS is much more likely to work with Calibre - though I certainly haven't finished exploring yet.
