Creator software refers to the software used to create the MOBI. As does bkp in EPUB files.

When you "tweak" by which I assume you mean edit? AS far as I recall editing does not touch the bkp field, that is set to calibre if the EPUB is created by calibre ina conversion.

As for publication date being reset on conversion, I cannot reproduce that.

When converting MOBIs a randomnly generated ASIN (uuid) is inserted. The reasons for this I have explained many times before -- a bit of googling should find you the answer.
