@BetterRed, not strictly true. It will also be read by the Adding books function, if using the option that treats each directory as a separate book, and possibly the other recursive adding as well.

@phossler, that refers to the EPUB manifest. It is true that Polish will update the manifest with the same data as the external opf, but that is a coincidence, a byproduct of the fact that that external opf is a backup copy of the metadata in the database. In other words, Polish does not read from the external opf. Nothing ever reads from the external opf, with the exception of Restore database and things like Adding books.

IMHO it distracts from the issue to discuss the differences between the metadata in calibre and in the EPUB itself.
That does NOT touch upon the OP's concern, which is that the EPUB might not open.
