Maybe you should think about "upgrading" the Calibre database. In the next release, prompt the user that the database has changed, and that it needs to be "upgraded" to the newest version.
Generate random ID's for foldernames and filenames. iTunes does this. (Or at least, did the last time I used it.)
Maybe that will dissuade people from messing with Calibre's folder.
The windows limit of 256 characters for a path+filename are because of the need of compatibility with very old software. Windows has a very good backward compatibility, but it comes with quirks such as this.
