Comment(by nacin):

 I think the issue is that while there is a get_the_post_thumbnail()
 function, which corresponds to wp_get_attachment_image(), there is no
 get_the_post_thumbnail_src(). There is however a
 wp_get_attachment_image_src() function.

 There probably should be a get_the_post_thumbnail_src() -- then again,
 there is no direct echo for wp_get_attachment_image(), while there is
 the_post_thumbnail().

 As an alternative, you can use wp_get_attachment_image_src() with the
 right parameters -- check out how get_the_post_thumbnail() calls
 wp_get_attachment_image() for that.
