We are doing this work now.

One important thing to note: the path for a book is a unique identifier in calibre. After we make this change, if you send the same book again, the normal process will create two copies, one with the old path and one with the new path. This is what happens on USB devices.

It is theoretically possible for us to determine that books with different paths have the same UUID. In this case we could delete the one already on the device. Is this what should happen? It makes me very nervous to automatically delete things, but perhaps it is the right thing to do.

EDIT: We can't delete the books. Doing so would confuse things in calibre because it would still think the other book is there. We could clean up on disconnect, but not while CC is connected.
