To begin with, yes.

At some point he did a ePub to ePub for multiple books. The TOC magically had the correct amount of entries after he removed the original_epub.
I could be wrong but all indicators are that it was operator error at every step. At some point he lost track of the automatically filled in source format during conversion.

Exactly, calibre can get confusing. I believe if, Under
Preferences - Behavior, he has EPUB at the top of his
Preferred input format order then (if it exists) EPUB is automatically the source format listed in conversions.

I see you have experience with mistaken epub conversions too.

If it is taken as source, I'd like to disable its creation so as not to get unexpected results, or I'll have to look for them manually and delete them in all directories. And may restart calibre in the process.

It's creation isn't the problem it is only created for Epub to ePub conversions and is only used as a source for ePub to anything conversions. Don't have ePub as your source and you'll be fine.
