 Good ol' race conditions.

 At the hack day after WordCamp San Francisco, a bunch of us sat down and
 chatted about this for quite a while. The solution we came up we called
 "just too late" generation (as opposed to "just in time" aka on-demand).
 Missing thumbnails get served as browser-resized fullsize images and a
 thumbnail generation gets queued via WP Cron IIRC.

 This issue is certainly highly complicated though and will need
 significant discussion before any code is actually written. The real work
 will be done via the planning rather than the code itself.
