The results today are similar to Friday's, with the oldest of two flagged issues already deleted before turning wireless on. The Sat, 10/9 issue was already gone and Sun, 10/10 was still there and flagged. After turning wireless on the end result for WPC is eight issues in Periodicals, with the oldest two, Sun, 10/3 and Mon 10/4 flagged. The rest of my publications have now come into play and the Mon, 10/4 issue of every other periodical is now flagged.

It's nice not to have to do manual housekeeping!

The "inconsistent" behavior that I stated yesterday and quoted above is apparently just the way it works. I can state definitively that Calibre-generated newsfeeds are treated as periodicals by the Kindle and that as subsequent issues are downloaded, the previous issues get pushed into Periodicals. There can be from six to eight past issues in Periodicals with none to two flagged. At some point the flagged issues will be deleted.
