As I said, if you don't like the way Kovid's viewer works, there are other EPUB viewer options. I'd try one of those to see if it meets your needs.
True, but changing the file access time is a lot less invasive than actually editing a file inside the epub/zip as Calibre viewer does.

I might look at alternative epub viewers if my current drag-to-copy-then-view solution gets annoying.

Edit:
It looks like the viewer ADDS the calibre_bookmarks.txt file. Would it make more sense to add that file when the epub is created?
