epub output metadata

Not sure if this has been brought up before - but I didn't find it in a search.

Calibre seems like it may have an issue with multiple dc:creator entries with differing opf:role's.

As an example:

Zelda Pinwheel's "Three Men in a Boat" epub
has 2 dc:creator entries, one author & one illustrator:

Code:
<dc:creator opf:role="aut" opf:file-as="Jerome, Jerome K.">Jerome K. Jerome</dc:creator>

<dc:creator opf:role="ill" opf:file-as="Frederics, A.">A. Frederics</dc:creator>
When imported into Calibre, it only lists Jerome as the author - which I think would be Ok. (a book with multiple dc:creator opf:role="aut" entries will show up with multiple authors as expected)

However, when Calibre updates the metadata in the epub to send it to a device (or save to disk, etc) it ends up sending the illustrator as the only author:

Code:
<dc:creator opf:role="ill" opf:file-as="Frederics, A.">A. Frederics</dc:creator>
