Thanks Kovidgoyal, I was hopping for some better news, but that is ok :-)

Unless using some invisible characters such as "DEL", "NAK", "CAN", or a patern such as "DEL"*3, could be used to tell the system to force a wipeout...

However, I have not examined if that would be possible and/or if I would be able to patch calibre for that...

I guess the workaround to wipeout that field before invoking the metadata source plugin will become the rule...
