Yes it COULD. But I don't think it should. It is safer to first copy all the files, then if successful, delete the original files. Then all or none are moved. I suspect this is intentional.

I prefer safety before speed, when it comes to how calibre manipulates files.

If you need speed, invest in faster disks and more memory for disk caches.
