Good.

The behavior didn't change "recently". Several years ago I was able to send same-title bookz (actually cbz/cbr archives) to the device changing the title via Metadata Plugboard; quite sure I didn't hack the "save template" at the time. Maybe there was no "save template" at the time on the driver, and only the Metadata Plugboard's rules were working during the send procedure?
That is definitely not the case for the Kobo devices. The save template has always been part of the configuration for them. And, at least for the Touch and all Kobo devices since, the uniqueness on the device is the full filepath for the book file. You can have multiple books with identical metadata as long as they are separate files.
