It may just be me but I'd simply like the CC books to replicate the ones on my PC, that's it, and inbuilt functionality to do that would be great.
I appreciate the great work the CC team is doing.
Cheers.
It is not a BUG.
Every title in Calibre gets an {id} assigned. You see this if you look unfrt the skirts of the library folder: title (###)

when you delete the book (remove from Library vs remove format), the ID is discarded and never reused.
When you NOW add a BOOK, it gets a new ID.

The book on your device matches the now non-existent ID (AKA no match). That is why it does not get replaced.
If you replace a FORMAT (or add a different one), the ID stay the same and replace should work
