Hah, thanks! I already have it installed. This time I shall try again using the proper plugin. Pebkac it truly was.
EDIT: I tried "update metadata in device library" ticking the "Author" box. Three times, the result was "Books updated=0", a result confirmed each time when I ejected the device and saw nothing had changed. I then tried ticking "Use Author sort" and that DID change a lot, creating 3 new "authors" by separating the initials from the surname. So I ran it again, with "Use Author Sort" unchecked, and it restored everything to how it was before I started - 6 showing the initials with periods, 15 without.
