Edit: I take that back ... I just tried editing the book using calibre's command line "edit-ebook" without loading it into the library, and calibre did not add or change anything, that I could see. So perhaps when I added it to the calibre library at some point the metadata got touched. Using the command-line tool seems to be a good way to run ebook-edit.
I had not played with the Calibre editor much in a while and it has really improved. Kovid really did a nice job with it.

You are correct in that observation
Calibre does update the metadata (if it exists), just as it would if you sent the book to a device from Calibre.
Supposedly, that is all it does
