Except for this one particular book, everything works fine.

For this one particular book, I can see using Sigil that the original EPUB metadata contained two Creator entries, one for author and one for translator. When I import this book into Calibre, only the author is shown. I can then, for example, add a second author in Calibre, and run polish. I can then see in Sigil that there are now 3 authors, 2 from Calibre and the one original translator that's still there. The L2 then picked the translator to be the author (based on what rules, I don't know) and if it hadn't done that, I'd never have known that creator entry even existed, because it's never shown in Calibre.
Asking again, do you have "Update metadata on device" set?
