There a number of tools like lrftools which do something similar automatically. They tend to use lrf2lrs and lrs2lrf under the covers. Because they did not do exactly what I wanted I ended up programming my own--this is just a question of writing some code to tweak the xml before calling lrs2lrf to convert back to an LRF.
One thing to note--lrs2lrf is not perfect. The resulting LRF is not exactly the same as the original LRF, even if you do not make any changes to the intermediate LRS file. For example, any page headers are lost by lrs2lrf.

thanks for the warning about page headers.
I'm beginning to think it'll just be easier to re-create the LRF file with the PRC copy I have. Except I can't get the PRC file to open in Book Designer in order to fix things (like removing the crap cover they inserted) And when I try converting in Calibre I end up with both covers. Except one is super tiny for some reason.
