If it's not a firmware bug, then something is wrong somewhere. We seem to have quite different ideas about what is reasonable behaviour for software and/or gadgets, whether it's really a bug, intended or stupidity.
Are you adding books in the way supported by Kobo?

No, you are doing something else, using non-supported software that is 'cheating' and directly updating the device's internal database. Which is not a supported way of adding books. So why blame Kobo if sometimes it doesn't work correctly?
