I use WinRAR, largely because it allows you to open internal files straight into an editor of your choice. Unfortunately it's not free, but it's never shown this problem.
Solved... and for anyone interested in doing what I described (manually adding an iTunesMetadata.plist file), you can use Info-Zip's free Zip 3.0 utility to properly add the file, without messing up the order, via the following command line:
Code:
zip "path to my.epub" "iTunesMetadata.plist"
