Actually, it is red if it disagrees with the author sort value you see in the Manage Authors dialog.

It is true that the initial value of author sort in Manage Authors comes from the calibre rules. However, once it is assigned to an author the rules are no longer used unless you specifically ask that calibre recalculate the sort. Any changes you make in Manage Authors will be used.
