I will do further investigation by stripping everything unessential off, maybe something will show up. I had hoped to get some pointers where possibly to look.
Many CLI tools use settings that were previously made in the GUI

Some CLI tools have specific override switches.
these 3 affect EPUB out
Code:
--no-default-epub-cover

    Normally, if the input file has no cover and you don’t specify one, a default cover is generated with the title, authors, etc. This option disables the generation of this cover.

--no-svg-cover

    Do not use SVG for the book cover. Use this option if your EPUB is going to be used on a device that does not support SVG, like the iPhone or the JetBook Lite. Without this option, such devices will display the cover as a blank page.

--preserve-cover-aspect-ratio

    When using an SVG cover, this option will cause the cover to scale to cover the available screen area, but still preserve its aspect ratio (ratio of width to height). That means there may be white borders at the sides or top and bottom of the image, but the image will never be distorted. Without this option the image may be slightly distorted, but there will be no borders.
