AIR, FFF tends to keep the cover in the epub even if you have 'found an image' on because FFF assumes you put it there and want to keep it. Modify Epub plugin has an option to remove covers.

Cover generation is a bit of a mess due to the accretion of features over time. I don't use a fraction of it, nor do I keep all the details in my head.

Here's a link to the last time I can find it was discussed in detail.

If you have a specific case you can replicate it, please describe in detail the steps you take and the cover settings you are using, along with what you get and what you think you should be getting instead and I'll look at it.

Then it could be used for all books, not just FFF output.
