It also would be useful to know what the author_sort value is for a failing book after you make the change, and whether calibre considers that value as correct (not pink) -- both of these can be seen using edit metadata.
Using newest Calibre (linux binary install). Also, I did change author to "Unknown" and then recalculated author_sort every time I did my testing (with that arrow button). My tweak author_sort_copy_method = 'comma'

EDIT: Oh, I did not read this thread fully before responding... Anyway, Kovid was quick to fix this once again.
