I'm going to try turning automatic management back on and then editing the pdf file's properties on the reader when I have trouble opening them.
You might want to try turning off the PDF metadata writer plugin (customize -> plugins -> metadata writer plugins). It could be that something is going wrong when calibre tries to change the metadata in the PDF.
