But I'm at a loss to figure out where the word "Move" appears in a regular left button down drag and drop from a file browser into calibre's Book Details panel.

This is what a I see when I do it in Windows:
It is not at that point that pleiadesc was talking about. When you drag something in Windows, holding down the shift, ctrl or alt keys change the action. To show this, the cursor changes and any tooltip can also change. The action taken, and exactly what cursor is used, depends on the source and destination for the drag-n-drop application. For the move and link combinations of keys, calibre should strictly either show the cursor for not allowing the drop, or always show the copy icon. But, it is letting Windows show the default cursors and actions, but only ever doing a copy.
