Longland first, Kobo will use that name as the author regardless of whether John was the author, illustrator or translator.

Your memory is sound. The first listed creator in the opf file is the translator, with the author second.
It appears that Calibre's send to device function (including kepub conversion) will result in the device getting metadata from the opf file, while the Kobo Utilities' metadata function will use Calibre's metadata.
Thanks for clearing that up.
