IE, cover_image is uncached when set, but not entries derived from it, whether from include_in_* or replace_metadata conditionals. Most of the time, it doesn't matter; and the cache saves significant time for users with extensive metadata editing. Until now, I would have said all the time.

I am considering whether this corner case is worth addressing or not.

This feels a bit familiar. Was there a similar case before?
I believed I asked once before if FFF could populate the column, but then it was more of a theoretical idea. This time I re-doing all my covers (various adjustments to the GC profiles over the years made for a lot of mismatched covers) so it seemed like a good time to set up the column.
