taming had suggested that this behaviour is limited to my device and she hadn't heard of others with it, so I should try rebuilding the db with a sign out and in. but i thought i'd wait and see if anyone else had the same issues before doing that.

Are you saying this is all normal and anyone who uses an SD card and 2.6.1 will/should be seeing this?
I just reread your original post, and there is something more going on.

Firstly, when I first insert the SD card with some books on it, after the processing has finished, the library tile shows the count of new books added and tiles for three (I think) of the new books. After dismissing these tiles, removing the card and inserting it again, only the library tile is redisplayed. It shows however many books were on the SD card as new. The same thing happens after a power off or connecting and disconnecting from the PC.

What you describe makes me thing there is a database problem. If the processing screen is displayed each time, then it definitely is corrupt. But, it could be a smaller problem in the database affecting just the table used for the tiles.

You can do a check of the database from a PC. If you use calibre, my Kobo Utilities plugin has an option to check the database. Though there is a fair chance that calibre will report an error when it sees the device and tries to read the database. Otherwise, you need an SQLite browser and execute "PRAGMA integrity_check". If it returns "OK", the the database is fine and the problem is elsewhere. Anything else and the database is corrupt.
