Comment:

 Replying to [comment:1 scribu]:
 > But more importantly, why are you calling add_theme_support() from a
 plugin? It makes zero sense to me.

 Because if you add `thumbnail` to the `supports` argument in
 `register_post_type()` the theme support will not be activated
 automatically, and you get not thumbnail meta box in the edit screen. But
 you may need exactly that in custom templates.
