The new Nada Surf covers record made me think about the idea of Morrissey doing one at this stage. As Matthew from NS said, they were ready to make an album, but not ready to actually write songs.
A covers album now would give Moz a chance to spread his wings musically and get some "new" material out to the market sooner. Since he is without a record label, it would be the perfect time to self-market something that is non-essential, and if it flops, well it was "just a covers album" anyway.
The only downside that I see is that I generally have not enjoyed the music that Morrissey champions. His taste is not my taste, but an album sung by him would likely be good, even if the material was not something I would normally enjoy.
