It did replace the character in my testing, I'm not saying it didn't. The character just jumped out as something in common for both affected files. But it did do 'something', as the books have vanished and I don't see any way it could have been user error.
Anyway I need to dig the missing book off of my iPhone and see if I can reproduce the steps. The original title didn't have a colon in it from the mobi metadata, I think I pulled that down when I downloaded more metadata from the web. Maybe it was something else in the data downloaded from the web that caused Calibre to choke.
