Maybe I wasn't clear before. I process a bunch of books in LibraryA. Now I want to move them to LibraryB. What I have been doing to accomplish that is save them out. Then I switch libraries to LibraryB. Then add them to LibraryB. The reason I was using Save/Add sequence rather than CopyToLibrary sequence was this: I thought I was certain that saving out would update all metadata changes into both opf and internal epub metadata. I thought I was NOT certain that CopyToLibrary would do that too, so for me it was a sort of habitual hygiene kind of thing.
That method is OK.
You were not inserting books into the other Library directly.

Copy to Library, will bring metadata for books that does not exist in the Library.
I believe there is a tweak that controls how much data gets written to the new Library.
