If you *really* want the "new" author named folder only, select the books for an author, change the name temporarily and then change it back again. That is the only way to do it currently.
As for why a trailing _ - on Windows at least it is not possible to name a folder with a trailing period.
I do wonder why Kovid didn't just obfuscate the whole naming structure completely many aeons ago - i.e. just use an author id & book ids as the folder and file names. That would stop people poking around under there and complaining about stuff not being ordered/named a particular way completely, since the directory structure would look exactly like what it is - a private set of files belonging to the calibre application. No file length issues, no character issues and no-one being silly enough to try moving files around etc. It would also mean that renaming an author/book shouldnt need to do any disk renaming/moving operations, which might help performance.
