What surprised me was that the book file name remained 'test - Nick.docx' and 'test - Nick.epub'?
Check Library returned no errors.
So how did the OP change the author folder name to CON - in linux maybe?
Added : After I Polished the book I had 'test - Nick.docx' and 'test - con.epub?' and the metadata.opf file had
Code:
<dc:creator opf:file-as="Nick" opf:role="aut">Nick</dc:creator>
<dc:contributor opf:file-as="calibre" opf:role="bkp">calibre (2.53.0)

... and when I tried to move the above book to another library (which is what Mashkai was actually doing) I got the error as reported by Mashkai.

Mashkai - look in the Authors tree in the Tag Browser, is there an Author named 'Con' - if there is change the books author to something else - e.g. Constance Worthington
Added : Also check in the target library for the move - you may have a book there by Con - with no author or a book folder - is that valid? It's not reported by Check Library as an error
Suggestion to Kovid : don't allow Author and Title values of CON, LPTn, COMn etc.
Talk about red herrings - this one was at least a few flounder
