I believe the problem occurs at Step 1 + 7.
When you do Step 1, and initially add the book in Calibre, Calibre will assign the OLD COVER into Calibre's metadata.
When you then SEND using Calibre, Calibre sends the old cover over, not the one marked in the Step 5 EPUB.
I believe if you:
1. Right-Click a book in Calibre > Edit Metadata > Edit Metadata Individually > Change Cover > Browse, then select your updated cover.
OR
2. Edit the EPUB in Sigil (update the cover, etc. etc.). Reimport this corrected EPUB back into Calibre.
Either of those solutions should take care of your cover-on-the-device issue.

Doing a Calibre "Send To" sometimes does little extra things depending on the device. For example, creating covers to Kindles so sideloaded books appear with covers in your bookshelf:
Sideloaded AZW3 showing no cover with send-to-kindle (Kindle PW3)
I would say the only way to guarantee no strange conversion is happening is to drag/drop your files manually.

That's a horribly non-technical way to express it, but seems about right for the old Simple Touch.

On my old Nook, when I did minor corrections to an EPUB and overwrote the old EPUB, it sometimes had a tough time recognizing any files changed.
I had to occasionally reset the entire device before it recreated the library/updated metadata.
