In your first example above, it has used the cover you had associated with that book - which if it was the case that you had just extracted the default calibre cover for your book record, then of course all it is going to do is put it right back in the book again. So it has worked as intended in that case from what I see.
I didn't associate any cover with the book. Calibre did. Calibre associated the current cover. So your plugin just basically puts that back in. That's of no use to anyone. It should prompt for a new cover image to use. It should not assume that everyone knows how to associate the cover they want with the eBook. It's just not working if all it will do for a lot of people is put back the same cover they didn't want in the first place.

As for the DRM'd ebook - there is logic that is supposed to detect a book with DRM and not attempt to insert a cover in that situation. Clearly you have a book which managed to bypass that logic. If you are able to PM me a link to that book it would be appreciated.
The book in question is a library eBook (via Overdrive) with time limited DRM.
