I don't understand why the regular app couldn't convert a simple HTML file, but I ended up using the command-line version of Calibre without a hitch.

I adapted the batch file a little bit and added it to the Windows Explorer right click "Send to" menu (by making a shortcut and dragging it to %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo folder). Now it is only 2 clicks to send all word documents to Kindle as long as Kindle Wi-Fi is activated (on jailbroken device).

Code:
set kindleip=192.168.0.xx
set kindlepw=xxx
%~d1
cd "%~p1"
echo converting %1 to %~n1.mobi with title %title% and copying it to Kindle with %kindleip%
"C:\Program Files (x86)\AbiWord\bin\AbiWord.exe" --to=html "%~n1%~x1"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Calibre2\ebook-convert.exe" "%~n1.html" .mobi 
c:\Windows\pscp -pw %kindlepw% "%~n1.mobi" root@%kindleip%:/mnt/us/documents/remote/
c:\Windows\plink -pw %kindlepw% root@%kindleip% "dbus-send --system /default com.lab126.powerd.resuming int32:1"
