I am now able to replicate the problem and this time I took notes.

1. Calibre and iTunes are open.
2. Calibre: connect to iTunes.
3. I select 7 books and send them to iTunes.
4. I check the file locations of all the books. They are all in my media folder as specified in my iTunes preferences. I have the 'Add to library' box checked so this is the expected behaviour.
5. Quit iTunes.
6. Quit calibre.
7. Open iTunes.
8. Open calibre.
9. Everything is fine. No exclamation marks next to the books. File locations are media folder.
10. I select just one book, book 3, and send it again to iTunes.
11. Now I have an exclamation mark next to that book 3!
12. Get info tells me that the file is located at: file://localhost ...
13. Do the same for all the other 6 book files and the same location shows.

If the book files were initially in the iTunes media folder, something is breaking the link to them in iTunes. How can they suddenly be moved out of the media folder?

Any ideas?
