I hope not. I don't normally use an SD card, but I am sure that when I have and had a book from the SD card on a shelf, the cover was generated after the shelf was displayed.

I don't think it is checking for files as the count of books on the shelf can be off. With my playing with the database, I have managed to get the ShelfContents and the contents tables out of sync. In this case the shelf list shows a count that include books that aren't actually on the device.

Are you sure? I haven't tested, but could have sworn I saw that suggested if you checked the appropriate options in the Kobo driver in Calibre. (Doesn't make it so, of course.) I know the recent firmware doesn't store them, I didn't know it wouldn't use them if they were there... I suppose it wouldn't make much sense to copy them there if the firmware ignores their presence.
I fixed this in calibre 0.9.21 along with the other cover related changes. Before that, the covers were copied for books on the SD card.
