Have you checked that this is the setting in the driver when the device is connected? Changing between the KoboTouch and KoboTouchExtended driver does not copy the settings.

Suddenly, without any change to Calibre. books are being saved to the device under:

/kobo/Bs/CaliraryBm/<title>
That does look like a truncated file name due to excessive path length. Are all books going there, or just some with multiple authors. The path length is limited to (from memory) 186 characters on the device.

I am using KOreader so file management is important to my workflow.
If you only use KOReader, then I suggest not using the Kobo specific drivers. Use either the Folder Device Interface or the User Defined USB driver to connect to the device. With these, you will see what is on the device without needing nickel to be started and import the books.
