Maybe a future version of Calibre could include a warning to neither quit nor eject while the library is being worked on in the background.
Anyway, problem solved! Onward to fresh ones...

wladdy - AFAIK the background task will end even if there are opf writes pending, next time calibre is run the task is restarted, I assume its driven via a dirty flag in the metadata.db database.
But if you're pulling a usb then you should probably make sure there are no calibre processes hanging around before you do so. My Mac fu ain't up to telling you how best to do that
BTW the message from Kovid indicates he has fixed the bug you reported in post #3 - it'll be in the next release
