I'm not sure how that could have happened, as far as I know the Kobo updates these fields even if you never open the book and just select "Mark as finished" from the context menu on the reader. Do they show as "finished" on the reader itself? Maybe this is an artifact of how you imported the books into the reader.
This is exactly the case. I briefly mentioned it in my original problem description, but didn't go into details. I did mark all my existing books as read through Calibre since I have actually read them on Kindle, and they do show this status on the Kobo.

My obsession with organizing my stuff thoroughly came back to bite me in the rear, it seems.
