I guess that's why I make sure I have the dc elements correct after adding a book to my Intake library, I Polish it there with update metadata checked before I move it to my Books library.
Before Saving I flick through the EPUB in the Viewer to see if there any obvious bungles, and I press 't' to check the ToC and 'i' to check the metadata - if any custom columns snuck in I use Modify to remove them.

Even though I don't publish commercially, I do do a final tidy up in Sigil, which includes any tidying up of the DC metadata elements.
