Do you use a batch file to set the CALIBRE_CONFIG_DIRECTORY environment variable, or do you have it hard-wired into your windows environment?

I set the env var in a batch file, but do not use --with-library there. I have no trouble switching libraries. That said, looking at the code I don't see any reason why --with-library would make switching libraries problematic. All it does is set the library preference before starting the GUI.
