For the first case, calibre correctly adds the metadata. However, for the second case, calibre adds the title and filename in the wrong fields. I have discovered when I select to edit metadata there is a check box to switch the filename and author fields! So, I am thinking that fixing the author and title fields will hopefully speed up the metadownload.
Correct matching is up to the user, either rename your files to match the regex template under adding books or have multiple regex templates set up for the various cases you find your files. I use the Quick Preference plugin and have 5 different adding books regular expressions that I can quickly change to without opening preferences. Check out this Google search for more info.
