If I make changes to these and don't then remove and re-add the books from Calibre, the add-on creates all the right collections, but they show up empty. That one had me scratching my head for a day, though, as I said, completely user error.

For non-Amazon books, the code used in the collections file is based on the pathname of the file on the Kindle. If you change the pathname of the file using a plugboard or move the files around on the Kindle, then the code won't match what is in the collection. As you found, you'll need to add your books to collections again, and possibly delete the old ones. If you use Create then this will be done automatically.
Its a subtle issue and it just got me again this week. I forgot changing the title/path will mean extra work deleting old books on the Kindle and checking collections.
