To repair the file afterwards, would I rename the ePub to a zip file, insert the original page-map xml, and then rename it back to an ePub?

I tested that method and it appeared to work (it opened again in ADE), but I don't know if it has any side effects that I should be aware of or if there is a better/easier way to repair it.
Yes, that will work or 7zip can open the ePub directly and you can fix it. That is what I use when I need to fix an ePub manually. You will need to ensure the map is still valid for the changes you made. Adding fixes to an existing ePub (zip) is better than rebuilding the zip from scratch as there are some special requirements in how an ePub is built.
