I've had the image only cover happen to me a few times, once recently. I usually add the cover in Calibre's Editor but several days ago I encounted a book with a Calibre generated cover image without an xHTML file.

I think the book was the one where I did a quickie reformat:
  1. I added the book to Calibre on my desktop machine, added the cover and did a Save to Disk.
  2. I then moved the exported book to my Windows tablet, which is my main Calibre machine.
  3. There I added the book to the library.
  4. Then a few days ago, I did a Save to Disk on the tablet to put the book into my reader app.
I found some undesireable background colors were set so I went back to Calibre on my tablet, found the book and opened it in the Editor to fix the Styles. While there I saw that there was to xHTML for the cover, only a cover JPEG. My reader app hadn't minded the lack of the xHTML, but I used Editor to generate one using the existing JPEG anyway.
