But in my rush I forgot to set the series for the book. So I deleted the book on the Kobo, fixed its metadata in Calibre, and transferred it again to the Kobo but the series was never there on the Kobo. I kept doing that with slightly different permutations (how I deleted it, etc.) but no cigar. I finally used the Kobo Utilities plugin and its Update metadata function and checked the box for series and that finally did it.
Why was that necessary?

The mistake was that you deleted the book. The device does not read the series info from the book. The driver will update metadata, including the series info, in the database for all books already on the device and matching to a book in the library. So, send the book to the device, disconnect and let it import the book, reconnect the device and the series info will be updated.
If you did reconnect while the book was on the device, it was probably the configuration isn't right.
