You are completely missing the point. The point is that the books are not functioning the way the user desires. It doeasn't matter where the bug is, if it doesn't function the way the user wants, IT IS A BUG.
I never said that epubs must contain a cover page. I said kepubs must contain a cover page.
The point here is to help the user FIND books with these issues, bug or not, and let the user decide how to fix it.

If you want the kepub to behave the way you think it should, then prepare the epub first.

Yes, exactly, that. My desire here is for as many cases as possible, either have the epub to kepub converter add a cover page, or alternately, have quality check flag epubs that will generate a kepub without a correct cover page so the user can find those and prepare the epubs so they will.

Anything that doesn't have a replaceable cover is suspect.

Just downloaded this: (epub with images)
http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/30240
Quality check says it has a replaceable cover.
What it has is a cover image without a cover page.
How would I find this with quality check?
Your suggestions for quality check searches for (non)replacable covers may have turned up some books in my library that still need fixing, but I will have to investigate each one.

And for my curiosity, can you tell me any software that does anything with the XHTML file that is marked as a cover?

I assume you mean other than just displaying it.
I actually don't care if epubs have an xhtml cover page.
What I care about is that kepubs generated from epubs do contain a cover page, and if I can use quality check to search for epubs without one and add one myself to make that happen, I'm ok with that. If the extended driver with kepub conversion inserts it automatically if there isn't one or wraps a cover image in a cover page automatically, I'm very ok with that.
