I got rid of the regeneration by formatting the internal memory. Apparently there was some problem with the FAT and/or root directory, format solved that just fine.

As for hand modification, it's just important to remember that:
1) FAT rounds times to two-second precision.
2) Internal memory uses file creation date, SD uses file modification date in its date field.
3) For some reason my times are always shifted exactly one hour back. Don't know why.

I got rid of all the manual work by writing a small command line utility to do it for me.

Also, even if I do fill in metadata for text files, would the reader even display it?
Yes. Until you change the underlying file, which forces regeneration of metadata, the metadata from the XML file are used.
