In this case, there is a problem. I looked up the series in the Kobo store. The books come from at least two different publishers. It looks like "Inspector Ian Rutledge" comes from Random House and "Inspector Ian Rutledge Mysteries" comes from William Morris.
Having said that, there is a feedback link on the Kobo store. Report the problem through that. I don't know if they will be able to change anything. But, one thing they might be able to change is the id used for the series. The Series tab is based on an internal id, not the series name. The two series names above appear to have different ids (click on the series name in the store and look at the URL). They might merge the ids so that it will appear as one series, though with different series names depending on the book. In the Series tab, I think it will use the series name from the book with the lowest series number.

Different publishers! I didn't even think of that. I'll take your advice and send Kobo feedback about the series I have that are like this — it can't hurt anything and it might help folks who can't or don't want to use Calibre. Thank you for the fine detective work.
