Still have the ODT?
Does Kindle index PDF?
Maybe try: OCR -> ODT -> PDF

Or some conversion chain in an attempt to avoid the Calibre -> mobi conversion step.
Or maybe try running it through the Amazon "Free (wifi), convert by e-mail" service.

Anything at all that might help give an idea of where in that long conversion chain things go wrong.

Yes, we are paying attention to your topic. Just don't have any ideas about the source of the problem other than the eariler post that points out that sometimes even Amazon books don't index.
