My first reaction is: Bugs, in my code! Never!

My second reaction is: Probably.

When I wrote the cleanup code, it was for the early 2.x versions. These had the same cover image storage method as 1.9.17 does. And I definitely tested it with 1.9.17. I haven't tested it recently with older firmware, but I also haven't made any changes to it for a long time.

Did the two copies of the book get put on at different times? Does the title have a apostrophe or something else a little non-standard? Letters, number, dash, commas and dots should all be OK, but there is a problem with a quote and some other characters. The quote as an apostrophe is the most likely one to turn up in a title. And hence the file name. And the quote breaks at least one part of the cover image handling.

A way to get the cover back is to use the cover upload in the utilities plugin. Assuming calibre matches the book to one in the library, it can send the current cover to the device. It should replace the cover for both copies of the book. Unfortunately, due to the way the device caches cover images, you might have to restart the device to see the change.
