Not that I know of.

But you should have gotten a popup something like this, which lets you bail out of the Add books operation :

I avoid the situation by adding to a usually empty Intake library, after making any 'critical' metadata adjustments I use the Find Duplicates->Find library duplicates against the target library and if necessary the CalibreSpy plugin to examine the target library duplicates.
