Thanks for the tip, it seems to work well.  For reference, the following
copies metadata from a single raw file to a corresponding PNG file well
for me:

  exiftool -TagsFromFile IMGP1364.PEF -x Orientation -overwrite_original IMGP1364.png
  exiftool -TagsFromFile IMGP1364.PEF.xmp -x Orientation -overwrite_original IMGP1364.png

Raw file metadata is present immediately after this action.  To get
digiKam metadata (captions, tags, etc.), it is necessary to read it from
the PNG file (or more selected PNG files) by using "More" button in
Caption/Tags.
