I've never checked what happens with updating the metadata when a book is copied to another library. In that case, calibre could be doing a save-to-disk followed by an add-to-library, in which case the metadata probably is updated first (depending on options). Or it might be doing a more direct copy and updating the new library from the old.

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.
I tend to do all that in the editor. I pretty much know that if I start looking at problems, I'll be editing the book soon enough. And, to be honest, the editor generally starts up a lot faster the viewer with version 4.x. The other advantage is that the metadata gets updated when I open the editor, so it is a single action.
