So does this mean that every time I transfer any books, I have to go through the same disconnect/reconnect/disconnect rigmarole? If so, AAAARGH!

Yes. You can't update the metadata in the database until the record for the book has been created. Personally, I use NickelMenu so once the books have been imported, I use one of it's menu options to reconnect without having to unplug/replug my Kobos. I've included part of my NickelMenu config below. The USB connect line triggers the connection, the Toggle Autoconnect line lets me switch between getting the Connect/cancel popup or just connecting.
Code:
#
menu_item : main : Screenshots : nickel_setting : toggle : screenshots
menu_item : main : Import books : nickel_misc : rescan_books_full
menu_item : main : USB Connect : nickel_misc : force_usb_connection
menu_item : main : Toggle Autoconnect : nickel_setting : toggle : auto_usb_gadget
menu_item : main : Screensaver Status : cmd_output : 500: quiet : test -e /mnt/onboard/.kobo/screensaver_old
chain_success : dbg_toast : Screensaver is off
chain_failure : dbg_toast : Screensaver is on

One item is that out of the box, NickelMenu does not have any options, you have to create the config file and place it in the correct directory.
See the
NickelMenu: An integrated launcher for Kobo eReaders thread for the basics. There are also several other threads with various NickelMenu setups.
From the same author, there is also NickelSeries which removes the need for the second connect for series however I've never used it though some people do seem very happy with it.
