I think the first time I corrupted it, I thought I had maybe not ejected correctly once or twice so I didn't report it. Now I strongly suspect I didn't miss any steps and something was just holding the mount after an import.

Note that I found it is much less likely if I only do one cycle per day, which leads me to believe that something is taking its sweet time to finish after the import completes.
That also jives with my own experience -- one thing that I didn't really take into mind is that since I use subtitles a lot (which aren't transferred on the initial send), after importing a new book I immediately re-connect to fetch those. But if I'm only updating books already on the device (or fetching read statuses), I'm not in a big hurry for the next re-connect.

Also explains why rebooting the device fixed it: it would've made Kobo shut down whatever it was doing.
