I am running WinXP and on occasion I used to get an error during metadata saving. I didn't save the error, but believe it is the same. Trying again always seemed to work. I assumed it was because of using dropbox (online backup). When I update Calibre, to ensure a clean install, I exit Dropbox. Update Calibre, then restart Dropbox. I do this because occasionally it interferes with the update process.
I figure it is the price I pay for another program fussing in the middle of everything. I think Dropbox corrected the problem, it realizes there is a conflict and now gives me feedback saying it can't backup metadata.db. Then when I quit Calibre it backs that file up to the online space.
A retry loop might help this issue. Thanks Kovid
