However, it certainly ought to read in all of an ePub. Are you sure all your epub files are declared in the manifest? Sigil is quite strict about only reading files that are actually declared to be in the ePub, not just all the files it finds in there.

"files declared in the manifest," I blush to admit, is new language to me as an epub n00b.
if "the manifest" = content.opf, then each of the xhtml files is indeed noted as an item in that list. tellya what, is there an epub sanity checker out there that emits diagnostic messages (something like the various html and xml checkers, but for epubs)? maybe that would give me a better clue than Sigil's mute, obstinate refusal to read past the 3rd file or so.
point taken though, I should be less hard on Sigil noting that it is pre-beta :-) I'm still trying to figure out what it's good for; Calibre can convert pretty much any of the popular document formats to epub (though the result is sometimes ugly code), and from there on, standard cmd-line tools seem to work as well as Sigil... vim with spellcheck is pretty good for catching OCR errors, for example.
I attach the problem epub file in case any kind soul feels like pointing out what I have obviously done wrong...
