Apparently this is a known problem -- see this thread -- in one of calibre's support libraries. Since I don't remember seeing anything about it earlier, and now we've gotten three threads on it (one's over in the Sony section, waiting for the mods to move it here) within a couple of days, it's possible it's something that broke in 0.7.x,
This problem has been here (see bug report) for at least 6 months.

There is no fix, until the library calibre uses to set metadata in PDF files is fixed.
It seems the last character error was a trade off.

calibre used to use pyPDF, but it hangs on updating various PDF files.
