Ah, this needs to go under the textarea in the admin edit post section:

// hidden field to avoid vanishing meta echo '';

I replaced the function bb_update_meta:

// general custom field update function
function bb_update_meta($id, $field)
{
// authorization
if ( !current_user_can('edit_post', $id) )
    return $id;
// origination and intention
if ( !wp_verify_nonce($_POST['bunny-key'], 'bunny') )
    return $id;

$setting = stripslashes($_POST[$field]);
$meta_exists=update_post_meta($id, $field, $setting);
if(!$meta_exists)
{
    add_post_meta($id, $field, $setting);   
}
}

Now even I can't edit "other-excerpts" from the post editing field, so I guess it at least prevents accidents!

I think I found a fix — indeed something in the “vanishing meta” department. It has something to do with comments (approving moderated comments?) but as I'm not quite sure what cause the problem, I'm not sure either how to test that it's gone. Ugh.
