I can confirm that it's working for me also:
Using the "Send to Kindle App" on PC, and leaving the "author" line blank, the app reads the author name correctly from the metadata in the book title, (eg In Farleigh Field - Rhys Bowen) in This case Rhys Bowen showed up as the author on my Kindle for Android app on my phone, on my Kindle Oasis, Voyage, and my old Kindle 4th gen. Was also correct on the "Manage Your Kindle" website.
As to emailing from calibre, I never do that for books, but I do use calibre to email news downloads (eg New York Times, The Economist, etc) and those have been showing up on devices and in the cloud with "calibre" as the author, which is what's supposed to happen; since calibre creates the file from scratch is is considered the "author".
Previously, during this messed up interlude, emailed things were being sent with the emal address as author, and "Send to Kindle" app items were being sent with the Amazon account owner's name as the book author.
So as far as I'm concerned this is fixed, though I guess we'll never be sure what "this" was, who broke it, or who fixed it. I can live with that as long as it's working again.
