I know - we were talking about the same thing.
Yes in certain circumstance Calibre will update some of the metadata inside the book, depending on the format as you know. However Calibre will not (if you have unchecked the option I mentioned above) read it from the book file if you were to delete the external opf as a workaround. And as I said it is an option I recommend people turn off anyways unless you knew the only place you imported books from was from someone who did have quality metadata when they exported.

This timestamp is also in the internal opf file, but I don't think it is used during import.

Yes, that was what I was (badly) trying to say - you seemed to indicate the only date you could find was the published date, and Ron was saying he only found one inside the EPUB. The one that is used during an add in the scenario we are describing is indeed I believe that one in the external opf file.
