No, of course. I can see its uses :-)

The OPs problem has nothing to do with original_epub, it was caused by switching the input format for the conversion from odt to epub. And note that this does not happen automatically.

I assure you, I never noticed this was happening. It is of course possible that I clicked on something I should not, but I never noticed.

If you run a conversion on a previously converted book, the same input format as was used the last time is chosen, unless that input format is no longer available. While its conceivable that there could be a bug in that code, I doubt it, and I'd need some reproducible steps to convince me otherwise.

I'm trying again. When I click on a previously converted file from odt, the dialog shows at the top-left that the source is EPUB. I change that to ODT and convert.
Then I convert a second time, and the dialog has now ODT.
I restart calibre, and the selector stays at ODT - for that book.
But at sometime, somehow, the selector was EPUB. I'll watch that selector in the future. In fact, all 4 odt books had the selector at EPUB, I have converted them all again. Another book I converted a year ago from odt had also the selector at EPUB.
I look at to other books I'm testing (lyx --> xhtml --epub) and the selector there was epub, not zip. Changed that too.
So initially the selector is always EPUB - I have to watch that and change that thing when starting a conversion in the future.
Of course, I did a database rebuild a while ago... maybe they were reset.
Ok, test again. Delete two books. Add them again from the original directory. Convert - good, the selector displays "ZIP". Restart calibre - still ZIP. So it is working as it should, and I do not know when those books conversions changed to epub as source (before the database restore). Something I did that I did not notice.
Thanks -- I have to get used to this :-)
