Inconsistent syncing with Calibre's updated book files

First, Charles, thanks for all the hard work you put into CC. I really like the new feature of syncing updated book files with Calibre. Do you know I recently updated to Windows 7 just so I could use this new feature? Microsoft should give you a commission!

This feature seems to work most of the time, but I am seeing some inconsistencies. Sometimes, updated files in Calibre do not sync over. I am not sure if it is an issue with Calibre, CC, both, or simply user error.

I have identified at least one scenario where this happens. If I open a book in Calibre's native reader and make a new bookmark and then close out of the reader, the epub file is updated in Calibre. But when I immediately sort on the column "Modified" the book sometimes will not jump to the top of the list. As such, when I sync with CC, the book file is not updated in CC. This happens often and I can easily repeat it. When I open the folder the book is in, I can see the epub file has definitely been updated. But for some reason, Calibre is not registering the modified date properly?

In addition, sometimes in Calibre when I sort on the "Modified" column a book jumps to the top of the list, but I have neither changed the epub file or used Calibre's metadata editor on them. These changed books are then automatically synced to CC. I have no clue how or why these books are being changed. Is CC somehow modifying the metadata in Calibre, unbeknownst to me?

I am running Calibre 2.9 on my laptop and CC 3.5.6 on both the devices that I sync with Calibre. Both devices are running Android 4.4.4.
