It all "took" you are just a little confused about what you were changing. You were changing the metadata in calibre not the book. The metadata gets updated in the book a few different ways. If you do any of the following:

Save to disk
Send to device
Download (epub or mobi) from Content server.
Email (epub or mobi) via calibre's email feature.
Convert a file, as you found out epub to epub conversion works fine.
Use the Modify ePub plugin to update your books metadata.

Essentially anytime you export a book out of calibre the metadata gets updated.

I agree with unboggling leave your Titles as titles in calibre and use the metadata plugboard to insert series info in front of the title when you send it to your device.
