Alternatively, you could experiment with look ahead regex pattern matches for chapter_title_strip_pattern so you only remove 'Chapter 1' if there's something after it.
I will also consider if I should change the system in some way to prevent this behavior, or if it would ever be desirable.

Nah, you don't need to change the system when it works perfectly fine otherwise.(At least not because of my incompetence.)
But, since I'm really bad at regex, I think I'll just have to use the less aggressive stripping string.
But there is something else wrong with this epub that calibre's epub editor can't find. Specifically, the... probably the metadata of the titlepage entries? This is what happened: Even when I use the other stripping pattern, or use no stripping at all, it does not matter. The epub will not be added the my reader's library. In response, I deleted the epub and simply let calibre convert to epub from the html file of the same fic. I let calibre add its default cover page to the fic. This epub was added to my reader's library without problems. But when I opened it, I noticed I had to immediately skip to a page or chapter after the cover page, skipping the titlepage entirely, or it would basically crash and close the fic or freeze up. It happens with both my readers and my smartphone.
Basically, whether I convert the html file to epub via calibre, or I download the file from ao3 as epub, the fic will cause problems that I cannot find the root of.
Do you have any idea what could be the reason?
