I've seen the same problem, it doesn't seem to happen with all PDFs, or with all double l's. Haven't figured out what's going on.
I turned on the calibre debug folders (one of the conversion options) and with a 'problem' PDF, the double-"l"s are gone immediately (in the 'staging' HTML). So it affects any conversion, not just to MOBI.
I loaded the same PDF into Acrobat and exported as HTML. The double l's are all there as far as I can tell. So it looks like some calibre bug. I'll see if I can narrow it down some more.
You might also try using the Amazon conversion service ('<yourkindleid>@free.amazon.com'). I did this with my 'problem' file and it converted properly.
