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>
              <xsl:call-template name="href.target.with.base.dir"/>
          <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">"&gt;
        &lt;/OBJECT&gt;</xsl:text>
      </xsl:if>

</xsl:template>
