If I view the book I'll see what was set as the cover at the beginning and then somewhere later in the file, not always the next page, I'll find a duplicate of the cover image.
Then if I click Embed Metadata, I don't have the Modify Epub PI installed on this computer, when I open it up in Edit Book again the cover.xhtml and cover.jpg are still there along with the original copy of the cover image under its original name. And if I view the book I see the image at the beginning and then later in the book where it was originally located.
So unless that first image was already being listed as the original filename and cover.jpg with a cover.xhtml file, in which case why didn't Calibre show that it had a cover image, then it's making the change to the files. Unfortunately I don't know if those files were there before or after I hit the button because I've already run them all through the bulk edit for the cover file but I'm still working on the other metadata. Which is why I know they haven't had the metadata embedded yet. I haven't used Send To Device, Embed Metadata or Modify EPUB on them yet.

to be clear about covers in EPUB (what the brown book also uses)
2 things must be met in the content.opf
1) the (coverpage) file must be declared as the 'cover' in the guide section (set using semantics)
2) the Image file used
on the cover must have an id='cover' and a media-type="image/,imagetype>"
