Simply have the 'remove first Image' box ticked if the cover is not identified as 'cover' in the original and Calibre will remove that one.
See, this is where I'm confused. I don't want to change the cover image from what's already in the book. I want to change the cover page code to my preferred template, which differs in a few small ways (black background color instead of white, no SVG, custom CSS - but only for that one document). In short, the JPEG is fine, but I want to change the XHTML.

If that's what that plugin does, then that sounds perfect - I just want to be sure we're both talking about the same thing.
