 I believe this is a bug in how the image thumbnail functionality behaves
 with reference to the uploads folder.

 On a standard installation of WP when you upload images they go into wp-
 content/uploads. Now, after you have uploaded images, if you change the
 upload_dir to something else, say wp-content/new-uploads, then run
 the_post_thumbnail, it will return the location new-uploads even for
 existing thumbnails in wp-content/uploads. This becomes an issue because
 the image was loaded to wp-content/uploads and the function returns wp-
 content/new-uploads as the path resulting in the image not being found.

 Is this intended behavior? I have checked ticket #13483, but that seems to
 talk about a different issue.
