What am I missing? (author_sort)

I just upgraded (finally) from 6.45 to 7.17 and I'm having an issue getting the author names to come out right. I'm one of those people that prefer to see the author as "ln, fn" and I've always had "author_sort_copy_method = 'copy'" in %AppData%\calibre\tweaks.py. This was working fine with 6.45, but I just tried adding my first book since the upgrade and it seems to be swapping the names on me. I've double checked the setting in tweaks.py. Am I missing a new setting somewhere?

# The algorithm used to copy author to author_sort
# Possible values are:
# invert: use "fn ln" -> "ln, fn" (the original algorithm)
# copy : copy author to author_sort without modification
# comma : use 'copy' if there is a ',' in the name, otherwise use 'invert'
# nocomma : "fn ln" -> "ln fn" (without the comma)
author_sort_copy_method = 'copy'

And this is what I'm seeing after I import the book...
