Then I tried removing files (including .mediaartlocal subdirectory) and copy it again into device, restarting it, changing filenames, directories and even tags. Nothing worked...
Media player still finds its magic way to find the old cover and attach them instead of the new one.

Though I must sayd that when the song is playing, the album cover is the new one embedded in file, but in the album or artist view it stays old one...

Maybe media player stores some informations about it on the system partition. If this is the case, where are they and how to change them...?
With MP3Tag you can remove cover and replace it with another one. That way you can transfer only mp3 to your device and it should show that cover.
Don't forget to save in MP3Tag after you change the cover.

Other way you can remove cover in MP3tag and when you copy your mp3 to the device include cover.jpg together in the same folder. But I dont know what happens if there are more mp3s in the same directory so probably its better to use the first method.

EDIT: I noticed that if you put mp3 with embedded cover on N900 and when tracker finishes it adds subdirectory .mediaartlocal with the picture from mp3. Maybe you need to delete this folder... just guessing
