Hm, so because the way Old Kindle jumped back from endnotes to note cues, I'd actually automated moving the anchors from the note back to the main text back a few words, so the first thing on your screen when you jumped back wasn't just an asterisk / number - you had some context.

It turns out that if you implement popup notes in the same way that works on iBooks for example (with epub:type, aside, etc), they DO pop up in the Kindle, BUT the Kindle expects the cue reference to contain both the "href" to the note and the "id" back from the endnote. If you separate the anchor as I did, it mysteriously concatenates a random number of endnotes (not all of them, and not all the time).

...so in conclusion, not so simple. Or at all clear. Hope this helps anyone else with the same problem.
