I don't think there is bug in caliber or plugin.
All that is correct (or at least I know of no bug in the driver). But, I am still a bit baffled as what you want really want to do. Saying "I wanted to only delete the empty collections, and not create new collections," is fine. But, how are you creating the collections in the first place, and how are you putting books in them? As you have mentioned "#myshelves, series" and "#myshelves, authors" several times, that implies that you want to manage collections from calibre, but as you want metadata management as manual, that cannot be happening.

So, are you planning to do all your collection management in the device and wanted a quick way to remove any empty collections? Or are you trying to achieve something else?
