I found out the rouge plugin. It was Google Image search. It seems to now toss up EOFs:

calibre, version 1.4.0
ERROR: Download failed: Failed to download any covers, click "Show details" for details.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\utils\ipc\simple_worker.py", line 50, in run
File "site-packages\calibre\utils\ipc\__init__.py", line 19, in eintr_retry_call
EOFError

I disabled the Google Image plugin and all the other ones (Amazon, B&N, Goodreads, etc.) went fine. No problems.
I enabled ONLY the Google Image plugin and got the same EOF/hung response. I even took the returned images down from 5 to 3 to 1 and it still all hung up. Which sucks since Google Images is the one that returns the nice ~1000+ res covers.
I have a feeling it wasn't hanging before on the MOBIs as they were all from Amazon and thus Amazon would at least toss a cover out. On these ePubs, some of them had no metadata OR relevant/valid covers at all other than what the EPUB provided and thus Google Image search was left by it's lonesome or something shrugging it's shoulders looking around for an adult to solve the problem.

Google Image even choked on the single metadata "Download Cover", but it just tossed up and error and no images other than the current were provided.
