Just rechecked, same even after a reboot of the PC and restart of calibre.

I am looking at the Metadata download preferences in 2 places.
- One is Preferences -> Metadata download
- The other is the Configure Metadata download screen shown after you select Add a book by ISBN and enter an ISBN and click ok.

After retesting, its clear that if the Preferences->Metadata settings have Authors checked, then the metadata used for the book will include Author information, regardless of what is set in the ISBN Configure Metadata download dialog. And if the Preferences->Metadata settings have Authors unchecked, then the metadata used for the book will be left as Unknown, regardless of what is set in the ISBN Configure Metadata download dialog.

I've hit apply, even restarted and viewed that the changes in the ISBN download dialog are set correctly.
