I guess what I am asking is some way of marking a particular instance of a format as a "Master" that is not to be overwritten.

FYI, I never overwrite my "master" when doing a same format conversion. I do this:
- Add an empty book (It's on the Add icon)
- Select that empty book first and the one I'm working on second.
- Merge the two with "Keep others" for the merge.
This produces a copy of the master record. I work on the copy until I'm happy with the results.
