You may be right.
I spoke wrong earlier, it isn't two programs accessing a book at once. It is Dropbox accessing a book then calibre attempting the write and unable to write because another program has locked the file. Calibre errors at this point because it is unable to write to the file.
Possibly if calibre did two retrys five seconds apart before throwing the error things would work themselves out. Especially since this conflict is so rare to begin with.
