I'm guessing the ePubs that don't have covers have been converted to ePub using calibre since April?

It is possible that Aldiko doesn't support SVG images. Calibre uses these images for covers whenever a book is converted to epub. You can have calibre use JPG images by going to the epub output profile and checking the box that says No SVG cover (see attached). This will force calibre to use a jpg as the cover instead. I think that inserting this new JPG cover will require an epub to epub conversion.

If Aldiko creates the thumbnails from the book cover this could fix your problem.
