Two possibilities come to mind:
1. Sonys support timezones, but there is no way (that I know of) to determine what that timezone is. Because of this, the dates can be wrong, leading the sony to reread metadata from the book and change the sony database. It is possible that it changes the series database in the process.
2. A problem I just found because of a bug report involving a kindle: if you have author_sort values for the same author spelled with different case, and if you use author_sort in templates, then calibre can get confused about whether or not the books are on the device. For example, if you have books with author_sort values McCaffrey and Mccaffrey, then when written, the device thinks the names are the same while calibre thinks they are different. One of the spellings will win on the device's file system. As far as calibre is concerned, the others disappear, resulting in series (and other) information going away on the device for such books. Book matching will then find the books again (usually), and automatic management will put the 'new' book back into the series.
My guess is that your problem is related to #2. The author_sort of book thirteen is probably spelled with different case from the other books in the series.
