as we've been round the block several times now, maybe its time to summarize what if anything is still broken/inexplicable ( assuming that the proposed calibre fix from Kovid works as intended in next update )
Yes, I agree. Thank you very much for your time and patience.

Based on the results of the test you suggested I believe the reason only the first author is displaying on my Kindle is because when I email it, the second name is getting stripped by Amazon's processing/server/whatever. I will contact Amazon, but based on past experience they probably won't understand what I'm saying.

However, as @jhowell confirmed, Calibre is stripping the second author's name from the "Author sort" field. Apparently that is just a coincidence and not the root cause of my problem (because Kindle ignores that field), but it is nevertheless an issue.
