Now either iTunes is either remembering the first import and then overwriting all future imports of the same book (after deletion in iTunes) or the metadata isn't updating properly on export.
I've set the appropriate preferences to update metadata, I've also tried converting from epub to epub and also tried the modify epub plugging.
But exporting to a folder and dragging to iTunes would be relatively painless. Obviously non-ibooks readers are also an option but you lose the push updates to your multiple devices and page syncing.

The 'metadata magic' happens when talking directly to iTunes after the initial transfer of the book. There's a limited amount of metadata that iTunes pulls from the OPF file in the EPUB (title/author/subject), but the rest happens through OSA, mimicking what would happen if the user were manually editing the other fields after adding the book.
