It gets a bit more sporty if you have already a "cover" entry in the metadata, but it is doable.

You are mistaking "Calibre metadata editing" with "ePub metadata editing". Of course it can be done by hand. What I was commenting on is that if I use the Edit Metadata tool in Calibre to add a cover, it doesn't set that field in the opf when I send the ePub to a device (unlike the other fields). You have to run an ePub->ePub conversion to get Calibre to do it for you.
