I think I'm doing something fundamentally wrong.
So much for all the 'guides' on the web that says the cover should be an image file and MUST be called cover and it MUST be in images and ALL I need to do is tell Sigil 'Add cover' and voila. Well it doesn't work at all.

Adding the cover image to a html file does not automagically add the file to the table of contents in the toc.ncx/nav.xhtml file. That requires you to do some work.
The cover image must be an image file (Doh!). It does not need to be called cover.<image format>, it does not need to be anywhere other than not it MUST NOT be in the META-INF directory. A right click on the image file and clicking on Cover image will give the correct semantics.
If you are using Kobo kepub format, you are pretty much required to have every text file in the nav.xhtml (ePub3) or toc.ncx (ePub2) but otherwise, you could just have a single entry (Start is rather popular).
