If you pointed to a folder of a decompressed epub, only the parts needed for structure are added, so that you don't double the content. Both would explain the preservation of internal names.

Yes, but the source portion appended to the Kindlegen output doesn't make it all the way to an end user. It's stripped out of the file that someone gets when purchasing a Kindlebook. So unless users are using calibre-edit or KindleUnpack on their very own kindlegen/kindle-previewer generated output, the appended source just isn't there.
