I will also be 'converting' some of the MOBI files and saving them as EPUB along with newly modified MOBI, as I want to put the same books on my wifes iPad as well as my kindle... and while I am not familiar with EPUB format conventions - I'm assuming it's valid to want the cover image embedded into resulting EPUB file that I want to save off to disk as well...
I don't use mobi but I think the only way to ensure the cover is embedded in the book is to do a mobi to mobi conversion.

When you convert the mobi to epub the new cover will be embedded in the epub. Also if you have epubs from some other source you can embed the cover using the modify epub plugin (beta).

Good Luck.
