Which matches what I said in the second message in this thread:

Please note that any changes to the file such as using Polish, Modify Epub, etc. will make this option useless.
When you modify the metadata in the file, it is no longer binary identical. The binary compare first looks at the file sizes, if the file sizes are identical, it generates SHA hashes. If those hashes match, the two files are considered as being duplicates.
