As for the the other one, the exact metadata involved would help pinpoint the issue. But I'd expect it's the same kind of thing than the first one, a remnant of the first bogus sync, and since CM never deletes collections, you've just noticed the stray 'broken' one.
The CM import never deletes a collection? If on Calibre I were to zero out the customs collections column for a particular collection, generate the collections via the plug-in, and than import using CM, would I have a collection with zero books in it? If I were to change the custom collection column for a book to another collections and than repeat the above process, would the book be moved to the other collection?

I'm thinking what I have to do is to delete both of these problem collections using CM, then create the collections using the plug-in, then import using CM. Does that sound like something that will fix the problem.

BTW, when deleting a collecting using CM, that only deletes the collections and not the books in it?
