Comment:

 For what it's worth, it's fairly simple to add a function to your theme to
 get the thumbnail caption:

 {{{
 function get_post_thumbnail_caption() {
         if ( $thumb = get_post_thumbnail_id() )
                 return get_post( $thumb )->post_excerpt;
 }
 }}}
 Then you can just do something along the lines of:
 {{{
 if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
         the_post_thumbnail( 'medium' );
         echo wpautop( get_post_thumbnail_caption() );
 }
 }}}
