I think I may have found the solution. This is what I did:

Add the book cover using Calibre.
Make sure the image is 332 x 500 (this is very important!)
Export as MOBI format.
Transfer the file into your Amazon account.
It will appear into your cloud in Kindle app (with the DOC icon)
Just don’t panic. Download the book.
The book cover will then appear flawlessly.

I have experimented several book cover sizes that seem to work (so far):

332 x 500
326 x 500
375 x 500
1426 x 2200

I agreed, this must have been some Kindle iOS app bug.
