No, what's happened is that at some point the EmbeddedCover tag has been generated incorrectly. It ought to look like
<x-metadata><EmbeddedCover>Cove Image Name.jpg</EmbeddedCover></x-metadata>
And if changed to that, KindleGen handles it fine.
But that's unofficial support left over from Mobipocket Generator.
I think it's probably best if we drop support for Mobipocket Generator, and tweak things to work only with KindleGen.
There's another problem too - we're including the thumbnumber cover image in the manifest, which causes a cycle of Mobiunpack/Kindlegen to add an extra image - a new thumbnail each time.
Whether this is because the metadata is declared incorrectly, or because KindleGen can't handle being given an explicit thumbail image I'm not sure.
There's also a problem of empty anchors not being removed well enough, causing extra empty anchors to be added on each cycle through as well.
I'll work on a fix for all this over the weekend.
