Ok, now I have two of many books on the device. I probably shouldn't have resent every book in the Calibre library (I'm lazy), but apart from that, I'm guessing the metadata that I've changed is the very thing used to identify books in the database.
Edit: Actually, I think it may be because of the path of the book changes according to its title and author sort strings. Anyway, I figured out how to use Calibre to remove duplicate books from the device and think I have it mostly solved.

IMHO you have probably made a mess of
metadata.calibre ON THE DEVICE ,
BEFORE STARTING CALIBRE, Delete it
be prepared for a device rescan (that can take some time on devices with large storage.) , now connect to calibre and grab some coffee and snacks
My way:
Switch to device view: Click the Date column header (your list is now sorted bu date it was added. a second click reverses the direction)
If you had not changed the template (much), a second sort would be to then click Title column
Sorts work slightly backwards from what you might think. What you are doing is applying a Bias to the next sort here. Title in Date added order.
Here is another case. 2 books
with the same title. Click Authors, then click Title.. They (the Titles) are now in Authored order
