Comment (by downstairsdev):

 +1 For @leewillis77's patch.  Tested in the loop with image size and
 without image size.

 I am wondering if we should also have the companion function for output in
 the loop, or if that's overkill:

 {{{
 /**
  * Display The Post Thumbnail Source
  *
  *
  * @param int $size Optional. Image size.  Defaults to 'post-thumbnail',
 which theme sets using set_post_thumbnail_src( $width, $height, $crop_flag
 );.
  * @param string|array $attr Optional. Query string or array of
 attributes.
  */
 function the_post_thumbnail_src( $size = 'post-thumbnail', $attr = '' ) {
         echo get_the_post_thumbnail_src( null, $size, $attr );
 }
 }}}

 BTW: My use case is for a responsive portfolio layout.  If images have
 height/width attributes they scale badly with min-width:100% in CSS.
