Not at all. The epub files I generate validate with epubcheck and the TOC displays correctly on a ADE readers.
You are leaving out the TOC element in the guide structure of the epub files. While it is legal to do so in EPUB [not MOBI], that ADE displays a "TOC" [actually the NCX guide structure] even when you are leaving out of the guide can be considered "an extension" at best, a non-conforming behavior of ADE at worse. NCX is NOT a "TOC" per se, see: http://www.openebook.org/2007/opf/OPF_2.0_final_spec.html#Section2.4.1 particularly 2.4.1.1 where in comparison it shows how TOC, List of Illustrations, etc are SUPPOSED to be implemented at: http://www.openebook.org/2007/opf/OPF_2.0_final_spec.html#Section2.6
