Calibre will combine a title and subtitle declared in the OPF metadata of an EPUB 3 book into "title: subtitle". It has been that way for years.

The OPF from that book has:

Code:
<dc:title id="title">Running a Thousand Miles for Freedom</dc:title>
<meta property="title-type" refines="#title">main</meta>

<dc:title id="subtitle">The Escape of William and Ellen Craft from Slavery</dc:title>
<meta property="title-type" refines="#subtitle">subtitle</meta>
And so "Running a Thousand Miles for Freedom: The Escape of William and Ellen Craft from Slavery" is the title that calibre produces for it.
