The NCX is always specific to the XHTML files in the epub. Since Sigil doesn't (in the current version) preserve the original file structure, that information is meaningless. The content of those XHTML files is loaded, and then transferred back into XHTML based on the location of the chapter breaks.

Somehow trying to preserve the NCX links to elements within the original XHTMLs also doesn't work, since HTML Tidy will rewrite the markup into something different and the original links will be meaningless too.

So no, the NCX information cannot be preserved.
