This has been the case since last fall, when we had the option of including the "product image" or not. Then the option was eliminated, and the product image (separately uploaded) always becomes the included cover. It is however considerably compressed.

I'm sorry, that's incorrect--at least, it is for correctly-made books. I can't speak to Calibre-made books, about which I don't know enough to speak. At this time, if an ePUB or MOBI file is uploaded at Amazon, (yes, kids, this has nothing to do with Sigil) and a new cover is uploaded, it will simply overwrite the existing cover IN the book file. The whole "dual cover" thing hasn't been occurring for quite a few months. it was a glitch for about a month or so, but hasn't been occurring since at least late spring/early summer.
