Thanks for posting your findings. I don't track a lot of this metadata for my own use, so I don't see a lot of these details.

I'm reasonably sure that I've updated stories that have had one or both change, and had them update successfully, showing the new title and/or author. Potentially this is an issue if you want to retain the old title and author, but they still appear in the logpage_entries if you have it set to include them.

FFDL matches on URL first. It only looks at title/author if no URL match was found. So that's the way I'd expect it to work--if you're updating by URL. If you select an existing book and hit 'update', it will update that book regardless of what other copies may exist.
If you don't want title/author changing in calibre, you can use the FFDL 'New Only' settings on the 'Standard Columns' tab. Inside the file (ie, titlepage/logpage), the title/author from the site will be used regardless.
(I didn't think anyone but me used logpage.
