Yes, that's my meaning. I've encountered several ePubs (commercial ones, I mean) which seem to have the wrong image marked as the cover. I wasn't suggesting that this was a bug in Calibre; the cause of the problem is that too many people just don't know how to create eBooks properly!
The book I encountered this with most recently was a David Eddings book called "Seeress of Kell", which I had to buy as ePub since, annoyingly, although the rest of the series was sold at Amazon, this particular book wasn't. Like many commercial ePubs it didn't have a cover, but there's a map in the front of the book which displayed as the cover, and this (naturally) got replaced when I added a cover with Calibre.
