If your plugboard is empty and Calibre still behaves the way you describe, try to create a new one plugboard as described above, set
Source template: {title}
and observe results.

OK, I decided to play around with your plugboard suggestion, and I don't understand what happened, or at least how it happened.
I went into the plugboards setup, and when I went to enter the new plugboard, it put up a confirmation asking if I'm sure I want to replace the existing matching template. I wasn't sure I did, so I tried editing an existing one, any format and any device (only options), and it showed me one with this template:
{series}/{title} {series_index}
It didn't list any existing plugboards, though. I then pressed the button to "Restore defaults", and could no longer repeat what I had done - ie, I could no longer enter "Any Format" to edit an existing plugboard.
I restarted the content server, and it now works the way I want, without the series prefix (whether empty or populated). But if I start to add a new plugboard like you suggested, I don't get that same error message (I only get one saying it only works with epub, mobi, and azw).
I don't know what happened. I double-checked and I have no user plugins or additions or modifications, so it's really a mystery. I may check it out on my laptop with the same OS, and see if it has this. Perhaps I'll even do a full delete and reinstall.
So, you fixed it, I think, even though we don't know quite what was going on. For that, I thank you.
