I've had this problem on a few books now. Anybody have any ideas as to what could be going on?
The OPF file is what tells Kindlegen what/where the cover image is (as well as the inline ToC, the NCX file and the Start Reading point). When you say "packing it back using Kindlegen," I assume you're feeding the unpacked OPF file to Kindlegen. That's what you should be doing. If you're simply supplying the html file to Kindlegen, that would explain why there's no cover (or ToC, or other features).
