When I finish the book, I reimport the fixed version back into my permanent Calibre library. Something must have changed the way books were saved, because a book titled (for example) "This Is the Title" would be saved to disk as "This Is the Title: And This is the Subtitle," even though I had "polished" the ebook to update the metadata. So when I reimported the ebook back into my permanent library, it wasn't recognized as a duplicate and was instead added as a new book with the longer title.
None of that has anything to do with the device. It is all happening in calibre. If you are getting that title when you do a "Save to disk" (though while you said "saved to disk", I suspect you are either talking about the "Send to device" or what calibre uses internally) then either that is what the title in the library is, or, you have a template that sets the file name as that (for the save-to-disk and send-to-device).

Anyway, after I installed firmware 4.31 on my Elipsa, I started experiencing database errors, disk i/o errors, and other fun things. I suspect the two things are related somehow, but I decided to go back to square one. I even created a new Calibre library and copied all the ebooks from the old library into the new one, hoping to standardize the way metadata was displayed and saved.
I don't quite understand how that would have worked. Calibre displays the metadata as it displays the metadata. Unless you were removing custom columns when doing this.

Then I reset my Elipsa, and reinstalled and reimported everything from the newly created Calibre library. It seems to be working now. But it's only been 3 days, so I'm still hesitant to say it's fixed.
As to the issues on the device, I am seeing more occurrences of Windows reporting the filesystem is dirty. But, nowhere near as many as before Kobo updated dosfstools in 4.23 (I think that was the version). I usually do the scan and have not had an issue whether I do or don't. And I haven't had any corrupt databases.
