Thanks for your comments theducks. I tried, but no solution as yet.

I deleted one other virtual library that I had set up as part of my testing, and under Library Maintenance I ran "check library" (which said it did some "vacuuming" to improve performance, and then indicated no problems were identified), and then selected "check match" which again indicated no problems identified. I rebooted Calibre and tried a bulk metadata edit, but it is still not working.

At the time that the problem occurred I was identifying ePubs that appeared to have OCR problems as indicated by the occurrence of multiple tildes "~" in the ePub, and was using the ~ symbol (is that a "reserved name"?) as part of the content added to the user-defined column. I've done that before though and didn't run into this problem. If it is a problem, "library maintenance" does not seem to provide a solution (even after I removed the other ~ references in that column by making rename-edits via the tag browser).
