Yes, this is the case, not matching in Calibre AND with the two authors correctly displayed on the device

But, that's not one I have seen for sure, and as I'm a single-language English speaker, it isn't something I'm good at testing (meaning I don't have suitable examples or confidence in producing producing real test cases). Until I see examples of other mismatches, I don't know what the cause is, or if there is a way to fix them.
There are other books with different problems: one author and a series, one author and one book, one author and different series etc...
I you wish to investigate I will give you as much details I can, otherwise let's call it a day and go for the solution you give below.

Can you check the process I intend to follow?

1) I delete all non-matching books from the device SD card

2) I go to KoboUtilities> Driver > KoboTouchExtended

3) I go to the template editor

4) I replace the current template with your plugboard in the same field, that is:
Code:
program: raw_list('authors', ', ')
I'm waiting for your green light. Thank you again.
