Yes, that's almost always the case. Not only will Amazon try to drop the included cover, but I've had a frontispiece thrown out as well. I had to move it past the TOC in order to include it.
For publishing through Amazon, the cover is merged after one has uploaded both the text file (without cover) and the separate product image.
It's always best to avoid the included cover for a Kindle edition, because sometimes (usually because one has uploaded an epub) we wind up with TWO covers, the one the author provided (which is not full screen) and the one incorporated by the KDP software. And of course we pay the download fee for the included cover!
