Aha.

Try to add following template into your customization layer. It's 
completely untested but it should link from book in ToC to the first 
object like chapter, preface, ...

<xsl:template match="book" mode="hhc">
   <xsl:variable name="title">
     <xsl:if test="$htmlhelp.autolabel=1">
       <xsl:variable name="label.markup">
         <xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="label.markup"/>
       </xsl:variable>
       <xsl:if test="normalize-space($label.markup)">
         <xsl:value-of 
select="concat($label.markup,$autotoc.label.separator)"/>
       </xsl:if>
     </xsl:if>
     <xsl:call-template name="escape-attr">
       <xsl:with-param name="value">
         <xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="title.markup"/>
       </xsl:with-param>
     </xsl:call-template>
   </xsl:variable>

   <xsl:if test="$htmlhelp.hhc.show.root != 0 or parent::*">
     <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;LI&gt; &lt;OBJECT 
type="text/sitemap"&gt;
       &lt;param name="Name" value="</xsl:text>
           <xsl:value-of select="normalize-space($title)"/>
       <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">"&gt;
       &lt;param name="Local" value="</xsl:text>
           <xsl:call-template name="href.target.with.base.dir">
             <xsl:with-param name="object" 
select="(part|reference|preface|chapter|bibliography|appendix|article|colophon|glossary)[1]"/>
            </xsl:call-template>
       <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">"&gt;
     &lt;/OBJECT&gt;</xsl:text>
   </xsl:if>
   <xsl:if 
test="part|reference|preface|chapter|appendix|bibliography|article|colophon|glossary">
     <xsl:variable name="toc.params">
       <xsl:call-template name="find.path.params">
         <xsl:with-param name="table" 
select="normalize-space($generate.toc)"/>
       </xsl:call-template>
     </xsl:variable>
     <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;UL&gt;</xsl:text>
       <xsl:if test="contains($toc.params, 'toc') and 
$htmlhelp.hhc.show.root = 0 and not(parent::*)">
         <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;LI&gt; &lt;OBJECT 
type="text/sitemap"&gt;
           &lt;param name="Name" value="</xsl:text>
             <xsl:call-template name="gentext">
               <xsl:with-param name="key" select="'TableofContents'"/>
             </xsl:call-template>
           <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">"&gt;
           &lt;param name="Local" value="</xsl:text>
