Sideloaded ebook has my email as author

UPDATE: PARTIALLY FIXED
Tonight Oct 4 I tried uploading five books to my Amazon account. I used the Send to Kindle app on Windows and batch/bulk sent all five at once, leaving the "author" line blank. All five downloaded to my Kindle Oasis with the correct author name - that's an improvement from last week. But the books appeared in the cloud (Manage Your Kindle Content page) incorrectly, still with my own name as the author of each book!
I then sent just a single book via Send to Kindle, with the author line blank: same result: correct on the device, wrong in the cloud.
I also tried emailing a book to that same device. Result: correct author on the device, but the cloud still shows email address as the author.
I think another poster had also noticed this: correct on device, wrong in cloud. Previously mine had been wrong in both. So I guess this is an improvement. But I guess I'll still have to add the author name manually, and only send one book at a time via Send to Kindle. Otherwise I'd not be bale to search anything by author on the website. And there's no way to add an author name in the email process, so that's out for me.

Yes, this is exactly the behavior I've been seeing since 9/15. I'm not holding out hope for it to change.
