However, I just tested converting the same document (pdf->mobi) using

Depending on what you mean by "jumbles", I can't say that's a surprise
for some PDFs. Are you saying it happens every time? Maybe a report to
Cailbre's author is in order.
In general, calibre's conversion of pdfs is less robust than Amazon's. By
"jumbles," I mean that certain documents have things such as footnotes, or
endnotes; some have anchors. In Amazon's case, more often,these seem to be
handled correctly. With Calibre, the footnotes can be interspersed with
the regular text; in that way, the regular text is "jumbled" with the
footnotes presenting problems of continuity.
Perhaps a report to calibre's authors is in order.
