I think the problem is that it is all or nothing. You can turn off updating the metadata when you save-to-disk, but, that means it doesn't update the Dublin Core metadata. All the ways of updating the metadata are like that. To produce a book to give to someone else and that you don't want them to see your personal metadata additions, you pretty much have to edit the metadata after exporting the book outside of calibre.

Note: The OP has used the word "publish". If this is to actually publish the book to sell in a store, then I don't think the OP should expect calibre to produce the final result. I think they should be expecting to do some handling afterwards to clean up things like the metadata before publishing.
