And don't say to use the Modify ePub plugin, the Embed metadata function or a conversion (yes, I know you don't) to do this. Then you are back to the situation that geek1011 is complaining about. All of these methods update the metadata in the book in exactly the same way. They will all put the things in the OPF that geek1011 doesn't like.
If I want to change the metadata, I use the Calibre editor and edit the OPF myself. I have seen enough eBooks where the title was just plain wrong.
