Thoughts .

You are aware of that embedded art have precedence over cover.jpg so as
long as there is an embedded art tag it wins it does not matter if you
have a file .

I would make a tag change on all album files ( new an old ) so that they
get the same time stamp .

I would make sure that there is no difference In tagging re new vs old
files , using mp3tag or puddle tag .

Make sure that I embed the same art in all files ( with the exception of
albums with track art, LMS handles track art very buggy , but that is
another bug )

Or you sure this a new behaviour , it is very similar to the many other
scenarios where you end up with double albums after a tag change and "
scan for new and changed " .
This usually fixes itself after a " clear and rescan ".

I would say that " fixing " existing albums pretty much always gives you
weird entries in LMS like double albums .
Quite surprised that you have not seen this before ?

But it is a good one as you found a bug where new and old file separate
in two albums in some sort of predicable and reproducible  manner, maybe
it helps Michael to analyse this .

If they are still giving you separate albums/no artwork after a "clear
and rescan" I would suspect the tagging.
If this is only a problem after an incremental scan , I would say it is
LMS not entirely predictable " new and changed " scan.
"New" is mostly ok ,the " changed " part is somewhat random .
