What I got was (confirmed this with ePubReader on FF) title == " - {title}" together with two author fields that contained the last and first name, respectively (the Cybook displayed only the last, ePubReader displayed the last one first, I'm guessing this has to do with {author_sort} containing a comma).
Is this a problem with plugboards? It sounds like the information you asked to have in the books is in the books.

When you copy a field to a multiple (authors is multiple), it separates on ','. This behavior simulates what happens if you have multiple authors to begin with. If you send a book with multiple authors in calibre's metadata, does something different happen?

The title issue is because you spelled author wrong in the first template. That was the major reason I first insisted that the user make a composite field, then use that.

Oh, and while I'm at it: The icon for the plugboards frankly looks horrible... I can't even tell what it's supposed to be.
It is a plugboard. A real one. I stink at drawing, so I got a free photo.. If someone produces a 'better' icon, more power to them.
