New Bug with Shelves?

<Prologue>
Using David Forresters Plugin to sideload books on my Kobo Glo (i.e., the normal one), I create shelves from the normal series information and additionally from a custom column "stars". This column is created from another column and contains either "4 Stars" or "5 Stars". I use the following template:

{#to_read:switch(4,4 Stars,5,5 Stars,)}

The idea behind this is to create shelves named "4 Stars" and "5 Stars", that contain the books that I want to read next and which I mark accordingly in the custom column "to_read".

This works like a charm, and the shelves get created and filled. When searching for e.g., 5 then the shelf is listed together with all books and other shelves containing a number 5.

Me happy.
</Prologue>

Yesterday I updated to the 2.6.1 firmware (having had 2.5.1 before), and all of a sudden, while everything else still works fine, searching no longer produces these special shelves. I deduced that maybe shelves starting with a number would create problems and changed the name on the device to "Five Stars". But entering "Five" or "Stars" still didn't provide this shelf.

Now the question: Is this a problem of the new firmware (meaning I simply wait for the next version), or is it something else e.g., plugin or calibre itself, and I should try and find a workaround?

Cheers, Joachim
