One important thing I should point out: when I add a second author's name to the ebook, the Calibre GUI suggests the second author's name is present. Based on the GUI you wouldn't know there's a problem.

Here's how I know the GUI is wrong and there second author's author has been dropped from the file's metadata:

1.) As I've explained, if I export the file to a different directory and then re-import it, the second name is missing. (And if I export it to a Kindle, same thing.)

2.) I go to the Calibre library in my Windows Explored (i.e. the actual location of the files saved on your hard drive). Calibre creates folders based on authors' names. If Calibre was working properly, the folder name would have both authors. But when I check, the folder name only has the first author.
Calibre GUI suggests that THE NAME is used SOMEWHERE in Calibre, NOT specifically THAT book.
