It appears that I am the only person to permanently glue the gasket to
the head instead of to the cover. I do this because the gasket provides
a very effective dam to stop stray oil from overflowing onto the rest of
the engine.

Dave--
As the saying goes "You are not alone". I do the same and for the same
reason, except that I choose to use Hylomar between gasket and head for a
semi-permanent mount yet very effective seal, and wheel bearing grease on the
top face
of the gasket for guaranteed non-destructive removal of the valve cover.
Works for me....
