Don't ever import odt to Calibre. Do an EXTRA save as to docx. Import docx to Calibre.
There is a setting to NOT detect covers in docx, I think, otherwise the first image, whatever it is will replace the cover set manually in Metadata Browse for cover!
Don't include the cover in the actual wordprocessor file!

The plugin (older LO) or built in epub export in LO Writer is very poor compared to an extra Save As docx, import to Calibre.
Make sure page setup image properties are 'Tablet' to avoid resizing images.
Convert to epub2.
Do any other formats from the epub2.
