I was able to download and update that story, with auto conversion to AZW3, without issue.

I do not have auto-convert turned on. I download in epub and read in epub. So I have no idea where that is coming from. But also, I probably should have included more information to my original post.
I got that error after trying my first update from email - a new chapter for an existing story that was already in my library and had downloaded fine the first time with FFF. At the time, I had FFF configured to:
- Download from email immediately
- Default to update metadata from saved metadata column
When I selected "Get Story URLs from Email," the update proceeded without asking for any further input from me - I assume because I had told it to download immediately. The update gave me the error:
"An error has occurred while FanFicFare was updating calibre's metadata for [fic title]. The ebook has been updated, but the metadata has not."
Then when I tried to open the ebook, I got the error I quoted already, that you said has something to do with converting, and couldn't open the book at all.
After thinking about it I wondered whether the problem arose from my default setting to update metadata from saved metadata column - maybe that screwed something up and it failed to update the chapter? (I assume updating from email would obey my defaults here right?) So I tried updating the same book again manually, with "Update Always," but I got the same error again.
Then I gave up, deleted the book, and re-downloaded it, which of course worked fine.
Unfortunately I did this all yesterday, before I read your reply, so I didn't run in debug mode etc., and now it's too late. I still feel like something went wrong that shouldn't have, but since no other stories in my library have updated with new chapters, and I have no emails with URLs in them, I can't see a way to try it again right now. If it arises again I'll attempt to gather debug information more carefully.
I've done very little customizing of the epub. Cover page (using the GC plugin), log page, and add_to_keep_html_attrs, that's about it.
