Calibre thinks it is an android device because someone at some point gave that info to Kovid. It sounds like some manufacturer is "pirating" USB ids. I have no idea if it is the webcam vendor or the phone vendor.

So maybe it was a buggy Android driver in Calibre and not a CC thing after all?

The android driver isn't buggy. It is doing what users said it needs to do.
My suspicion is that the connection problem is caused by timeouts. The CC connection sequence assumes that if calibre answers the "are you there" message (which yours is doing) then it really is there. However, if in the meantime calibre decides to ask (yet again) the putative Android webcam if this time it has become a phone then a lot of time can pass before calibre will get back to the wireless device. CC will wait 5 seconds for calibre to answer. If the putative phone takes longer than that to say it isn't really a phone then CC will fail to connect.
In any event, I hope that things will be more stable for you now!
