Did you see the first part of Starson's answer above? If you don't mind using the "Send to disc" feature you could "re-add" your books that way, in which case you will have the full suite of overwrite options as of Calibre 0.7.45.

It is only if you want to avoid the Send to disc and instead use a direct "Copy to library" that there is a gap currently.

Just in case you didn't want to wait. When you save to disc you can write out the .opf file and do a book per directory so you won't lose your metadata for books that don't exist in the library you then import into.
