db.set_custom on custom series column ignores [number]

[Jim Miller]

Both calibre 1.1.0 and trunk (at time of writing) have this problem. 0.9.44 does not.

If I set a custom series type column using db.set_custom, it sets the number to [1], ignoring the number included in the string.

db.set_custom(book_id, "Series text [5]", label="#text_series", commit=False)

#text_series for that book is now "Series text" with index=1.0

The same code in 0.9.44 leaves "Series text" with index=5.0

Fixed in branch master. The fix will be in the next release. calibre is usually released every Friday.
