I have no idea what is going wrong since that problem does not occur with the equivalent book on my Kindle. I will need more information in order to look into this further.

According to your previous log when your Kindle is connected, the main filename for that book is:
D:\documents\The Importance of Being Earnest (English Edition)_B004UJCNKC.kfx

There should also be a folder named "The Importance of Being Earnest (English Edition)_B004UJCNKC.sdr" in D:\documents. Inside that there should be a folder named "assets" containing a file named "metadata.kfx". That is where the book's title and author are stored. Let me know if this file is not found where expected. If you can zip that file and add it as an attachment to a post here then I will take a look at it. (It contains nothing specific to your device/account and none of the book's content. Also that book is no longer under copyright anyway.)
Thanks jhowell.

Metadata.kfx is located correctly in "/documents/The Importance of Being Earnest (English Edition)_B004UJCNKC.sdr/assets"

It's Attachted to this post. I notice that another kfx ebook has an author "Unknown". I think that the problem is not the particular ebook...
