While we're waiting for the next release, if you could review your tags in use, consolidate and simplify, getting rid of ones you don't care about, that will go a long way. I know you have a lot of books, but you can use the bulk metadata editing feature to clear out tags you're not using or don't care about.
See the end of the first post in this thread for some tagging tips.

I'm also having this problem (no TOC). The only strange tags I have are ones that have a dash... "Non-Fiction" and "Non-Classifiable" (without quotes) are tags. I cleaned up all the tags from "Social metadata" and limited it to my own selections. I also have a tag with an ampersand, "Language & Linguistics"

Recreating the catalog with these special characters removed (the oddest character is now a space) results in the same problem. No TOC.

My preferred device is Kindle, and I am using MOBI output.
