I agree. And the "label" for that field above is "publisher", given in the 
name attribute. The "title" of the field can be anything you want, that's 
the user-visible string. Underneath, the name "publisher" never changes.

Only because the user-visible string is wrong. Once that is corrected, there 
should no longer be an issue, if I understand this correctly.

Well, you can skip the unzip/zip steps by File->Export->Export XML. Edit 
that, then open it like a normal data file. When you save it, it will not 
revert to zip, it will stay unzipped XML. To save as a zip, 
File->Export->Export Zip
