None of the above worked in any combination (tried 3 on it's own, 4 on it's own, 3+4, etc), even though I've found several forum posts stating one or both should work.

any ideas?
From (rather old) memory I think 3. needed to be UNCHECKED if you're trying to use a metadata plugboard which is also trying to remap the author contents.
