I'd really like the one-click version fixed if possible. I haven't changed any preferences, so I figure it's the plugin or Calibre if it's not a plugin.

The way that the Calibre plug-in API works is that plug-ins are invoked for a single book only. When you're downloading in batch, what's happening is that Calibre is invoking the plug-in multiple times, once per book, and aggregating the results. This happens transparently to the plug-in and it means that if you're seeing different results when doing a batch download, this is likely to be happening on the Calibre side.
That being said, one explanation could be that when you do a batch download, because the plug-in gets called in quick succession and then it hits the Amazon servers in quick succession as well, Amazon might not be liking that and is blocking/throttling some requests which never complete, and you only see partial results.
My suggestion is trying in smaller batches and seeing if it changes anything. If even small batches (2, 3 books) don't work, I don't really know what's going on in your case.
