Comment(by caesarsgrunt):

 Depends what you mean by "correct".[[BR]]
 Firstly, note that the problem here is basically that you can still see
 the image if you know the URL. But, this also applies to posts.[[BR]]
 Secondly, note that the behaviour when you delete an image (pre 2.9) is
 not "correct" either. The code for the image is still in the post, it's
 just that the image file doesn't exist any more.

 I '''strongly''' oppose the idea of disabling Trash for Media.

 I propose taking the two actions described below :

 '''1.''' Check whether {{{post_status == 'inherit'}}} before showing the
 post thumbnail. Do this before '''2.9'''. This would leave us with
 Galleries and Thumbnails behaving in an optimal way, and images in posts
 behaving more or less as they currently do.

 '''2.''' Change the system for adding images to posts, so that it uses a
 shortcode rather than inserting direct html. Do this in '''3.0'''. This
 allows images to be somewhat dynamic, with the ability for plugins to
 alter their display etc - and enabling us to only show them if
 {{{post_status == 'inherit'}}}.
