I also noticed when I added an e-book from the device to the library and then edited the metadata, the device would no longer recognize the copy as added to my library. So it almost seems I need two versions of the e-book in my library, one the device recognizes (w/o any edits) and one with metadata. I even tried merging the two copies to see if that would allow the copy recognized by the device to contain metadata, but that did not work either.

You can't place (send) a blank book to a device. Calibre Ondevice match does not compare formats so the ondevice match is probably assigned to the first (created. lowest ID) it finds
If you switch to device view, you can find and determine which (real) formats are present.
