That's correct. Of course it would be perfect to even know at what date a conversion with which version of calibre was done and which file was the source, but I think my proposed scheme would already help a lot.

Do you write the "Converted EPUB" tag for an original EPUB format if you do an EPUB->EPUB conversion?

Yes, as after the conversion the original is lost and the new EPUB file was created by calibre, it must also be tagged.

I decided I'd just keep my originals entirely outside of Calibre, so I've mostly avoided this issue.

For now it's probably the safest thing to do, but I'm afraid a lot of users aren't that careful and as calibre already maintains almost all the necessary data (except for the conversion source) in the files metadata (at least for mobi and epub files), it's a pity that the information is not available for the calibre user.
