More Problems with side loading

I've got 2 new Kobo Aura One readers, both have been updated with 4.5.9587 and both have the same problems (described below).
I have 2 types of kepub books in KA1 - "downloaded" (from Kobo store) and "imported" (through Calibre).
If I've been last reading one of "downloaded" books than it will appear on the primary position on Home screen and it's cover will be shown in Sleep mode.
If I've been last reading one of "imported" books than:
- it doesn't appear on the Home screen at all;
- the latest read "downloaded" book is still on the primary position on the Home screen;
- the cover of the latest read "downloaded" book is shown in Sleep mode.
It doesn't matter how many of "imported" books I've been reading - none of these book will appear on the Home screen. These read "imported" books are not present in "My books/All" recent list either.

The situation changes only if I delete all "downloaded" books from KA1. In this case the cover of the "imported" book read at the moment will be shown in Sleep mode but on the Home screen the primary position is empty ("No book is being read").

All other parts of the Home screen always remain unchanged (Even in case of reading of several "downloaded" books - just the latest read book is on the primary position, all other earlier read books are not shown on the Home screen).

On the earlier FW 4.3.9084 everything related to the topic above worked perfectly.
In addition to the difficulties that s1s2... was having after upgrading to 4.5.9.587 with side loaded books with Calibre not showing up on the home page, I also had an issue that after side loading and ejecting. After ejecting my Aura it would reload all the books (only the side-loaded ones I believe) and all the books I was reading would be reset to unread. I tried logging out/in, and doing a factory re-set but neither solved it. It was only solved by downgrading to 4.4.934. Sure sounds like more potential bugs in 4.5.9.587. For now I've patched to prevent upgrading via wifi and will stay with 4.4.934.
