Just FYI, even though the calibre library window displays as Author A & Author B, when the metadata is written into the epub (via Polish or something similar) it is in fact written as 2 <dc:creator> entries in the .opf file. E.g.
Code:
<dc:creator opf:role="aut" opf:file-as="Patterson, James &amp; Karp, Marshall">James Patterson</dc:creator>
<dc:creator opf:role="aut">Marshall Karp</dc:creator>
