Suppressing table of contents & cover when converting from ePub to ConTeXt

Suppressing table of contents & cover when converting from ePub to ConTeXt

I'm trying to convert an ePub (made using Pandoc) into a PDF using ConTeXt. 
I'm new to ConTeXt so I may be missing something obvious.

I can convert the ePub to ConTeXt, but Pandoc fails to convert the table of 
contents and cover page directly, so I want to suppress that part of the 
conversion.

Specifically, there are two problems:

1. In the output PDF, there are two tables of contents, the ePub table of 
contents (the same as my ePub file, which I want) and a second table of 
contents that just has two items (1. Cover, 2. Table of contents). Also, 
the links in the ePub table of contents don't work.
2. In the output PDF, the cover image appears twice, once on the first 
page, and again on the second page.

So I want to somehow disable the table of contents and cover conversion if 
that's possible.

When I add the ConTeXt default table of contents with 
\placecontent
the links work fine.

Here's the command I'm using.

pandoc -f epub -t context -o main.tex mybook_epub.epub

And here's the second table of contents that I want to prevent from being 
added:

\startitemize[n,packed]
\item
  \useURL[url1][text/cover.xhtml][][Cover]\from[url1]
\item
  \goto{Table of contents}[nav.xhtmlux5cux23toc]
\stopitemize

And here's what happens with my cover:

{\externalfigure[media/cover.jpg]}


\reference[cover.xhtmlux23cover-image]{}%
{\externalfigure[media/cover.jpg]}

Any hints for how to prevent this part of the conversion would be much 
appreciated.

Can you give us the epub -- or a simplified version which is sufficient
to reproduce the problem -- so we can see what's going on?

I made a simplified version that has the same problem.  I included the PDF 
output, the tex file, the epub, and the markdown used to generate the epub.

I zipped it all up 
here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/q0tjvwj2x661tb5/pandoc_sample_files.zip?dl=0

Maybe it would be best to create an issue for this on the GitHub
tracker, so we don't lose track of it.  You can attach the sample zip
you provided.
