Different from what I posted in the OP, but clearly still not right.

In fact the only reason I am hopping down this rabbit hole is that the cover isn't showing up when the book is uploaded to google books/play. |
Another step you might want to try if you want to have take an easy way out.
Open the EPUB in Sigil:
1. Delete the
cover.xhtml +
cover.png files. This should clean up the content.opf and remove any crappy/broken references to those files.
2. Add the cover.png back into the EPUB, then
Tools > Add Cover. This should create a clean
cover.xhtml file, and also assign the correct Cover metadata to the proper image.

What validator? FlightCrew? That one is only good for a rough check (and isn't really maintained any more).
The actual true EPUB validator you'll have to use is always epubcheck (it's the one that stores use).
