Truncated directory names from Send to Device template

I'm a kobo user, and I finally switched to Koreader 100% (not just PDFs anymore). So, the send-to-device template is something I'm only now looking at after 7 years of supporting Calibre. I'm using a Sage at the moment. My template is

Code:
Books/{#genre}/{author_sort}/{series:|| -} {series_index:re(^(\d)(\.|$),0\1\2)|| -} {title} - {authors}
Where #genre is a custom column to which a book is assigned exactly one value.

I sent a book to the device with the genre: Buddhism.

It worked almost correctly. However, the top directory is 'Boks' instead of 'Books.' Nested beneath that, I have 'Budism' instead of 'Buddhism.' Likewise, the author's name was shortened.

I have the same template stored in Calibre's device-send and Kobo utility plugin (I'm using the extended driver), because I don't know which setting is being respected. When I use this template for 'Save to Disk," it works fine.

Am I doing something incorrectly? It's not a huge impact... I can find the book, and after 7 years of trying to tweak the "Perfect Reader Library," I'm now old and just want to read. While this one title is easy to find, I worry about pushing my other 300 titles to the device this way.
