I think I misread that. I assumed that you meant on your kindle, but now I'm second guessing myself and wondering if you mean in your calibre library?
I just checked my library and I have a book from 2016 with 2 authors that I last edited in 2016 and the azw3 file only shows the one author

I do not know what a plug board is, but I'm pretty certain I don't have one.
When I say the Calibre-generated names for folders and .mobi files used to contain both authors' names, I'm talking about the folders and files in my Calibre library on my hard drive. Not the folders or files on my Kindle itself.
(For the record, I do not sync my Calibre library directly with my Kindle. Instead I take the .mobi file created by Calibre and email it to my Kindle. So there is no direct connection between my Calibre library and my Kindle.
To pre-empt your next question, no, it's not Amazon stripping the second author's metadata when I email the ebook. As I noted above, I've tested this theory. I've created an ebook with Calibre, saved it to my desktop, deleted it from my Calibre library, then re-imported it to Calibre. When I re-import it, the second author's name is missing. Neither Amazon nor my Kindle touched the file in that process. Calibre is the only app that touched the file -- it created it, saved it, and imported it -- so the missing metadata is Calibre's fault.)
