Also, if I'm understanding correctly, the software that corrupted the file that we're discussing here was a Word plug-in that lets it import and export EPUB files, so I wouldn't rule out that possibility.

That leaves Calibre. Editing books with Calibre's built-in editor is probably safe. The big worry there is that someone will use Calibre to convert to DOCX, edit it in Word, then convert it back, which is decidedly not safe.
