I don't know if this counts as a bug. When using this extension and adding/making changes to my asset library, the autosaving does it in a way where it can create duplicates that are a pain to get rid of.

It's happened to me a few times. I have folders that I designate to be used for assets, and I often do a lot of purging data and re-saving when making changes to those .blend files. Those changes will get incremented, and when I do my final save and reopen Blender, there will be multiple copies of the saved asset. I then have to find and delete those .blends, or manually open each one and unmark assets.

Maybe I missed a setting or something, sorry if it's just user-error. It would be cool to have the option to automatically exclude autosaving in asset library paths, or have it not add the library metadata when doing incremental saves.

Sorry I didn't see this report. At the moment I would say this isn't a bug. You should keep your autosave directory separate from your asset library directory, since the backups saved by the add-on are just regular .blend files, so the asset library will pick up their content as it would any other .blend file.
