Thank you so much for pointing me in the right place and reminding this ageing brain of things done some time ago.
You need to install the KePub Metadata Reader plugin. Otherwise calibre doesn't know how to get metadata from a kepub. Without it, it falls back to the regex.

And install the KePub Metadata Writer plugin at the same time. That allows calibre to update the metadata in the books when needed.
