Unhappy Calibre hangs on importing books

I downloaded books from Baen (CDs from the Fifth Imperium) - they are structured one book to a folder, all collected in a root folder. The book folders contain (DRM-free) .lit, .epub, .rtf, etc files, some images, and .htm files (for reading the books in a browser).

When I try to import these into calibre (latest release - 0.7.7) for conversion/upload to my Motorola Droid (using FBReader) it hangs. It will scan the root directory, then apparantly jumps to the last directory (I downloaded CD22 - Mission of Honor, and it hangs on 'Worlds of Honor', the final directory if sorted alphabetically).

When I tried removing the Worlds of Honor folder, it began hanging on the next folder, 'We Few'.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Download the Zip file here
2) Unzip the file to a folder
3) Open calibre (v 0.7.7)
4) Click the arrow beside 'Add books', select 'Add books from directories, including sub-directories (one book per directory)'
5) Choose the folder you unzipped the zip file into
6) Watch Calibre hang on 'Worlds of Honor'.

Can anyone help me figure out what's going on?
