This was fixed in 0.7.51. I tested this fix and it will ignore any drag and drop from the library folder onto itself. The concept of dragging from the library folder to the formats windows to add a file that is already there is just wrong. I honestly am at a loss in understanding this move. You can't do it at the OS level and now calibre will save you from yourself too.

The formats window is for adding new formats or replacing old formats like pdf epub etc.. from outside the library/database.

Try the following. Save your updated pdf to your desktop, remove the pdf from the library via the Edit metadata window available formats area (recycle icon), Drag your pdf from the desktop to the Edit metadata window available formats area.
