Changing it requiires conversion in calibre (there are MOBI output options that control its creation) or modifying the exth headers using something like Java Mobi Metadata Editor.

ebook-meta cannot get rid of this non-standard mobi-specific metadata field, but it can read and import it into the "identifiers" metadata, which is what is confusing you.
I think I see now. Sorry for my ignorance, and thanks for taking the time to explain it to me.
