Are you selecting "no default cover" for ePub output? On the command line this is --no-default-epub-cover.

Note that ePub has the convention that the first page is the cover, so readers that show the cover will show the 1st page even if it a page of text.

Mobipocket suggests marking the ePub cover as linear="no" in the spine. This is probably a bad idea for a widely used ePub, but you could see if this works (i.e. skips the cover on start) with Stanza. The new Tweak epub Calibre feature should allow you to test this.
