I think FizzyWater is on to something, and it's what I'll be looking at next.

And FizzyWater was onto something. The string in the default template was correct. But it can be overridden by a specific configuration for the target device, and that was wrong. Editing the device config to use the same string as the default template cured the problem, and eBooks are being properly placed in sub-directories on device.
I vaguely recall diddling the device config which is where the error crept in, but I don't recall
why I made the change. In any case, things are working as desired.
And once I removed a large number of books that had would up in the top level directory instead of in the proper sub-directories, FBReader stopped choking trying to scan for new books and update it's metadata. I haven't heard back from FBReader's author on my bug report and submission of the books.db file it creates. I need to send him an update on what I did. It may point him in the right direction.
