问题
In the config file that is the blue print for all platforms, i Have added this:
<name>My app name</name>
<description>
My app description.
</description>
<author email="my email" href="my url">
Same name
</author>
But after running
phonegap run android
In the config.xml in the folder platforms/android/res/xml it gives:
on top of the file:
<name>Hello Cordova</name>
<description>
A sample Apache Cordova application that responds to the deviceready event.
</description>
than the feature list
and than (before the preferences):
<name>My app name</name>
<description>
My app description.
</description>
<author email="my email" href="my url">
Same name
</author>
<feature name="http://api.phonegap.com/1.0/device" />
So it does copy the name etc in the config file... but somehow leaves the example name in the config file.

Although this question: Config.xml ignored in creation process is about and the html reference... it look's like there is still a lot work to do for the command line option that creates the platform folders... so my attempt to make evrything work (both ios and android) from 1 www folder looks like a mission impossible right now.
For developing this is a mess... some things (plugins) you have to do from command line... and do a build to get the proper config... but than all the mistakes you have recovered manually... will be overwritten again!

by the way, in my total quest in this phonegap new way of living... I have another very long question and asnwering: Upgrade to phonegap 3.3.0
Edit 5 may 2014
Due to all problems in phonegap, the benefits of the principle behind phonegap has gone for me. (I still believe in potential phonegap can be the solution... but for now it's to premature). So I Am sorry i have to leave the phonegap path. I let this answer open for the ones still searching for answers... but do not expect any answers or the 'acceptance of the right answer' from me.

The answer of christianmenkens on this question: Cordova Android Plugin: config.xml overwritten by cordova prepare? gives some more insight in my problem here...
He describes 3 config.xml files. What I call the 'blue print' config.xml file, is his number 1 file. (the only one that should be edited according to the docs of phonegap....
1) myproject/www/config.xml
but he mentions 2 other config.xml:
2) myproject/platforms/android/res/xml/config.xml
3) myproject/platforms/android/assets/www/config.xml
it looks as if the name and description problem I describe above only appears in file nr. 2 In file nr. 3 everything seems ok... well the name and description part.... because all other things I expect to go automatically is still very messy.
My onlu conclusing: a lot of bugs still in this whole procedure...

try moving your config.xml from the www folder to the root folder of the project, that worked for me.
New files structure will be.
