If it was, try an experiment and convert a epub with the Preserve cover aspect ratio checked in epub output then delete the book and send it anew to see if it makes a difference.
I already tell Calibre to preserve aspect ratios. Not all of my covers are all the right shape. The first page renders fine on the 950, but not the screensaver made from the cover. At this point it looks like a bug in BookUtils assuming that the thumbnail is meant to be rendered into a 3:4 bitmap. The routine is the same on the 650 and 950, and I don't see anything wrong with it specifically.

I have also noticed that putting PRS+ settings at the top also messes with the reader when it wants to jump to a specific setting, since the indexes are all shifted by one. For example, tapping PageSync in a book when it is off takes you to the option, but not with PRS+. Instead it takes you to the option that is now in the slot the PageSync option was in.
