It's pretty easy to fix in a next build of Calibre, the real problem is with all those files here on Mobileread. That's why working with end-formats only is such a bad choice: you're stuck with these kind of errors.

There are various other errors that I've noticed, like for example in another recent upload:
Quote:
<dc:language>UND</dc:language>
<dc:creator opf:role="aut" file-as="Georg, Ebers,">Ebers, Georg</dc:creator>
UND probably stands for undefined: once again it can be very problematic, if for example the reading system rely on this value to set hyphenation rules for example.
In the dc:creator field: it should be file-as="Ebers, Georg" and dc:creator set as Georg Ebers instead of this mess.
