Building on what eschwartz just said, are you importing with the "read metadata from file contents rather than file name" selected or unselected? Because if it's not selected, which means it's just pulling metadata from file name, then I don't think it would automatically look for a cover image.

The actual name of the file internally is meaningless, it matters if the OPF semantically marks it as the cover.

And since Edit Metadata properly extracts it, I assume that is because it is marked correctly.
Not necessarily. I work mostly with fanfic ebooks that I've downloaded from various archives. Most of them don't have a cover image but they may have an image in them - either a livejournal icon or artwork for the story that isn't really intended as a cover. Using the brown book icon or the set from ebook file option will pull those images and set them as the cover if they're the first image in the book file.
