This will also work if you don't explicitly convert first. I changed the title on a different epub, then just triggered Calibre to email it to my Kindle. Calibre automatically converted to dual mobi before it sent the book to my Kindle cloud with the title change intact.

A valid point, but unfortunately there's one metadata change that's always made at the time that the book is sent to the device, and that's the title change applied by a plugboard. I rely on plugboards to add series information to my books, so I can't use dual Mobi for that reason.
