I was wondering the same thing. There are some possibilities.
1. The library was on a drive that admittedly was having problems.
2. If a new drive was brought in it is possible that the metadata.db file was not fully sync'd to the cloud prior to replacing the bad drive.
3. If the final position of the library was sync'd to a new drive then it is possible that before the entire Dropbox was sync'd from the cloud to the local (new) drive that the OP opened calibre and thus stopped the syncing of the metadata.db file. Essentially creating a blank library.

I agree I've used Calibre in Dropbox for about 3 years without a hitch.
I've been using Calibre in my Copy.com cloud storage (see signature) for about 5 weeks and so far it works fine and I was able to get more free space than I was able to get via Dropbox. If I ever have a problem I'll report it here first but so far so good.
