The reason that file does not work correctly is that the cover image it contains is only 150 x 236 pixels. This is too small for the Kindle to produce a proper thumbnail image of the cover. (I do not know the actual minimum cover size needed. I suspect it varies by Kindle model and firmware.)

The cover in the working MOBI file is 317 x 500 pixels which is large enough to work properly.
WOW, holy crapdoodle! (Crap, is it one of mine??? LOLOL...I don't think I've ever put a cover that small inside an ebook, but...that was a dozen years ago now.)

I'm getting flashbacks here.
