If you perform an individual conversion of a book, it stores the source format in the gui_preferred_input_format field in the conversion_options table.
If you perform a bulk convert, all books that have gui_preferred_input_format set will use that format (so if I convert a .mobi to .epub, bulk convert will always prefer .mobi for future conversions). Books without gui_preferred_input_format will use the priority list.
This means books will always be converted from the original format, unless I delete the associated rows in the conversion_options table. This is important for me because I'm planning on deleting all rows from that table to clear out custom conversion options I may have set while experimenting.
Is my understanding correct?

You can use the 'Restore Defaults' button on the Single book conversion screen, to make Calibre 'forget' the last used (per book) setting.
If you use the Bulk Metadata edit form on a selection of books, there is a tick box near the middle right to do the same thing
