My dilemma is that while the cover is a separate html file, and hence a separate 'chapter' it doesn't act like it. Instead, the next html file merges as the bottom of the cover. I've seen this in other free ePubs, but I have also seen it where it looks correctly: the graphic of the cover is a separate turn of the page from the next chapter.

So if not a page break of some sort, how is it being done in other ePubs?

Thank you.
This sounds good but does not totally explain what you see

Some devices/programs (calibre viewer) have a scroll mode and a paged mode. The scroll mode butts the files visually. (there would be no breaks seen within your book with this feature )

Having a style: page-break-before: always; at the start of the text section, might be honored
