Comment:

 Another alternative is to extract most of `wp_getMediaItem` into a
 `_prepare_media_item` method and use that for `featured_image` in
 `_prepare_post` instead of an ID and a separate additional field.

 That way you would have `wp_getMediaItem`, `wp_getMediaLibrary`, and
 `_prepare_post` all returning image/attachment data in an identical and
 filter-able format. And you'd solve the re-querying performance hit with
 `wp_getMediaLibrary`.

 We are already doing this for terms in `_prepare_post`.

 If others like this, I can draw up a patch and unit tests tonight.
