At one time - up until sometime in Oct 2013 - I was using calibre Save-to-Disk to transfer books to Dropbox (I won't bore you with the whys and wherefores) then synching them to android. So CC would have been finding new books by scanning rather than by direct transfer. Edit: For clarification, I don't think there have ever been any books in CC or on Dropbox which didn't originate from the calibre library.
Looking at the 2 books in question before today's metadata changes:
Dropbox:
Tey, Josephine - Inspector Alan Grant 03 - The Franchise Affair.epub
created on 25/04/2013
Calibre:
metadata.opf 10/10/2013
The Franchise Affair - Josephine Tey.epub 26/02/2013
Dropbox:
Tey, Josephine - Inspector Alan Grant 05 - The Daughter of Time.epub
created on 30/10/2012
Calibre:
metadata.opf 10/10/2013
The Daughter of Time - Josephine Tey 26/02/2013
Does any of this help/hinder your theory?
