Kovid, thanks for the reply!
I don't doubt for a moment that you're describing the
intended behavior of those functions but I haven't had a single PDF cover extracted without manually doing it myself. I also double-checked those settings; neither are disabled.
To that end, I finally automated the process myself with AutoHotKey. My (amateur) script follows. It's not pretty, but it squared my entire magazine library away in over a single workday!
