Oh, did a bit more testing:

1-3: Same as the first situation.

4. Update the fic with "Update EPUB Always"

5. Change the plugin cover template for AO3.

6. Try step 4 again, but with "Update EPUB Cover?: Enabled"

Expected result: Updates the cover.

Actual result: Doesn't update the cover.

---

It seems like initially downloaded books that don't have a default or "first image" cover, don't have any "Cover_image" value shown in the saved metadata, and these ones can be changed perpetually even if I have "Update EPUB Cover?: Disabled" (which is undesirable). But they are set to "old" after running once with "Update EPUB Always", and end up stuck with that cover (even with "Update EPUB Cover?: Enabled") unless I use "Generate Calibre Cover: Yes, Always".

Sometimes, updating the books that already had a cover (from "first image") seems to change their "cover_image" value to "old" as well, for some reason (it looks like that happens if I use Update EPUB Always).
