As I said, you seem to be using an old version of Kindlegen. I'd suggest using the latest version, which I think is 1.2.
The opf from mobiunpack does not include the cover image in the manifest, but it does include it in the EmbeddedCover tag.
As far as I know, the cover image shouldn't be necessary in the manifest. In opf files for Mobpocket Creator it wasn't needed, and I think caused problems if it was there. Similarly images linked from the html weren't included in the manifest (& aren't included in the manifest by mobiunpack).
Since it works fine with Kindlegen 1.2, and we're trying to create input for Kindlegen, not valid ePub source, I don't intend changing this behaviour. You are free to do so yourself, of course.
