Can you flesh out when it happens? (What online data sources have the series? Does it zero out an existing series or just change when the value is not None? etc.)
There were too many times when downloading metadata where it would change the name of a series for some of the books in the series. If it finds series info it fills it in whether or not there was any existing info in the series field. The series info comes from the librarything plugin which was a feature added in 0.7.3.

This sounds like an ideal place for this option.
