As I said, it should work and does work here. When you delete the book using calibre, it should remove the database entries for the book. And after the eject, it should detect there were changes and import the book as a new one.

What happened after you ejected suggests either you didn't do the delete first (I know I frequently forget what I have and haven't done when fiddling with these devices) or the database corruption had happened by this point. Unfortunately, it is probably impossible to work out what actually happened and caused the problem.
