You misunderstand me. I was not requesting a feature for this plugin. I was pointing out a new feature that appears to be coming to a future release of Amazon's Kindle Previewer. The sample messages included in my post were taken from that program.
I agree that it is best not to include a cover page/image in an e-book uploaded to KDP since that is supplied separately in the publishing process. Still, it appears that Previewer will be checking cover images.
The simplest explanation is that Amazon is assuming that you will include your cover in the book you are previewing, whether or not you include it in the file that you eventually upload to them.
A more far out possibility is that Amazon is planning to allow you to preview your finished book using the Kindle Previewer after it has been uploaded and processed by them, but before it is actually published. Evidence pointing to this possibility is that the latest Previewer now allows you to sign into your Amazon account and also contains apparently unused code to download books from their internal servers for previewing.
