Comment (by Eric J T):

 I get the same issue as saracup, except I find that if I select an image
 from the media library that is not in the post already it will set it as
 the featured image. This never happened before updating to 3.5.1. If this
 is by design it is rather inconvenient as I would have to upload a second
 copy of the image I want but with a different file name.

 BUT ALSO My experience with this has been that when imagename2011.jpg is
 in the saved post, and I just happened to have a second copy of it named
 imagename20111.jpg wp would NOT let me set it as featured image. I had to
 upload a new copy of the one I wanted used but named it
 image_name_2011.jpg and I was able to set it as featured image.

 Also, in previous versions of WP I was able to set the featured image at
 the same time i was selecting an image to insert, using a link at the
 bottom of the dialog. This was very convenient and I would love to have
 that functionality restored to WP. A great time saver. Please?
